The Lord of the Rings by: J.R.R Tolkein
I love the detail and work the author but into this story. People say he's crazy because he created an entire history for his novel, but I think that just means he wanted people to understand the meaning of his book and it shows he wanted a detailed story. I also love the picture he paints when he wrote this book. I can see everything clearly like it's happening right in front of me, even though I'm just reading. I think this books is fantastic, and I believe that J.R.R is a fantastic writer.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck..its a classic which although it was written a long time ago in a different era...shows how racial intolerance and ignorance of mental disabilities can still be seen as having some relevance today...makes you cry

At this moment (well, for a few months now) it's "A Book Dragon" by Donn Kushner. A slim book that holds a great big story.
