Book Recommendations?

Hi all!

I hope you have gotten a copy of The Lightning Thief and are enjoying it thus far. In the meantime, I was wondering what your favorite book is and why (I know it's hard to choose just one, so if you must put several, then you must :). Then we will all have a trusted resource for a good book recommendation...

As for me...

(and I know Ashlee agrees with me on this one) The Book Thief is by far my favorite book to date. Great writing style, very unique narrator (death), great relationships (her and her papa), gripping story, and although it has a weighty subject material, it still leaves you better than when you picked it up, and makes you feel good and realize what is important in life.

It also depends on what "favorite" category you are talking...

favorite light reading with a cute love story: anything Shannon Hale, especially Book of a Thousand Days

favorite classic: that's a toughy... maybe Tale of two cities, or Little Women

favorite self-help type book: Thinking Body, Dancing Mind

favorite children's book: The Ordinary Princess

favorite book growing up (that I read 100 times): Girl of the Limberlost

so.... a penny for your thoughts...
