I don't think I have read one yet. If I have, I can not remember.

If I had to choose just one book I would say Of Mice and Men.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad. That is a powerful book. Many great man always refer to the book. It’s a lifetime must read

[irenecunningham]93 wrote: 18 Nov 2014, 14:37 Picking just one is difficult... There are so many reasons to open a book. A book can be education, a book can be informative.
For classics, I have to say 1984 by George Orwell. It is a dark, tragic piece that explores human corruption and greed and how easy it is to fall prey to wanting to be ignorant of who is in power in society.
For fiction, I have to say Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult, or one of her other's such as Sing Me Home or Nineteen Minutes. All of these books explore different family dynamics and aspects of the human condition. Be warned though, each book is deeply emotional. Each story is tense with fear, with love, hope, loss, and pain. You will cry.
For fantasy, I have to recommend Eragon or Harry Potter. I know they are wildly popular and already a favorite, but I have yet to read a big favorite. Well. Ink Spell and Ink Heart were terrific too. So maybe give those a try.
Great recommendations :tiphat:

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice is a real masterpiece. It’s not classic literature but it’s amazing.
