The book that led me through life, there will never be one so flawless again.

Between Scarlett O'Hara, Melanie Wilkes, and Rhett Butler...how could this book not be so beloved? Its beauty has no end, even for a modern generation.

This story houses one of the worlds I wish I could of visited over and over when I was a child.

A great book for enjoyment as well as research for beginning writing topics.

One of my favored novels on one of my best-loved topics to learn about: Greek mythology. Without this series, I would've never understood the myths so well, nor have I found any other books that explain it so clearly.

I just picked up this book and had no idea what a powerfully active adventure it would turn out to be.

I thought the first Harry Potter book would be the one I'd love above all others, but this book was life-changing for me. The characters are unforgettable and so perfectly scripted. I'll love this book for the rest of my life.

I began this series when I was very young and the captivating uniqueness of it just gets better and better throughout each book.

This series is the best series I have read in a while. It is unique, because there are not many bakery books out there that involve magic. This series is so inventive too, the name of the recipes and ingredients in this series are so cool. Some examples are: Cookies of Truth, Singing Gingersnaps and the secret to the Mona Lisa's smile.
This series is about the three Bliss kids: Rosemary, Sage and Ty. Their parents own a magic cookbook with special ingredients to help their tiny town. A suspicious relative shows up in the first book. After stealing something important to the Bliss family, the parents and kids must face against their relative in a cooking competition in Paris.
This series is funny, has wonderful messages and genius tricks.

This book I picked up in Baltimore when I realized that day that I would love the underwater world forever, whales particularly. I had no idea if the book would even interest me long enough, but I've must of re-read it a million time since then. The beautiful images of the author's new world made me feel that I lived through Isabel with her adventures.

I saw this book on the barnes and nobles popular book list. I read the whole series (nine books) and I'm glad I did. This series was original and funny. It is the perfect series for anyone who enjoys classic fairytales, The Wizard of Oz, King Arthur, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Alice in Wonderland, The Jungle Book and other famous long ago stories. All these stories and more are featured in this series.
This series is all about Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, who end up moving to Ferryport Landing with their grandmother, where famous legends in stories live. They must help their grandmother solve the mysteries of the town before it is taken over by an evil force.
This book series is like the new "Once Upon a Time" tv series.

One of the best spy books ever.

It's easy to see why this was Jane Austen's favorite. With a wit matching the whole of Pride and Prejudice, the character of Fanny Price is one of my favorite heroines. Between the hilariously entertaining play that the characters try to perform and the unforgettable friendship of Edmund Bertram, this book is truly full of humor and drama.
I also read a follow-up discussion on Mansfield Park. It was in chapter one of "Imagining Characters" and it was great for any Austen fan.

One of my favorite Shakespeare tales that give me a new laugh every time. I've re-read it and love the characters of Helena and Hermia more every time.

I love the three Dashwood sisters more than I can say, but even though being like Margaret not too long ago, I really understand Marianne's emotional standpoint lately. Elinor, I admire most, and understand the most. This novel defines kind gossip, happy endings, and how to place trust.

I recommend this book to anyone who fears to immediately jump in to any Shakespeare classic; it provides an unbeatable, fast-paced account of the celebrated author's major life details.

I have wanted to read Fitzgerald since I was young, but I finally found a time when I could read Gatsby fully without hardly any interruption. I loved it more than I could ever think. I didn't want to finish the book, because I wanted to read it over and over forever. Each sentence is perfected in such an extravagant beauty that hasn't been matched by everything I've ever read before. Jay Gatsby is truly better than anyone he'd ever meet, except for his most loyal friend in the world.

I finally read this tale for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. Hamlet wasn't a character to read about lightly, giving a perplexing feeling every time he spoke. The emotions of most of characters are what carry the story, and what will be the effects of their actions. In the beginning of the book, the Ghost's words were the most interesting to read. Near the end of the play, Hamlet's hilarious comments to Ophelia were so funny because they were out of nowhere, before the tragic ending of the play.

Will make anyone, even the reader not a fan of love stories, laugh will the wit of humor, scoff at the stupidity of the annoying antagonists, and smile favorably at the relationship of the core cast: Elizabeth and Darcy; Jane and Bingley. I knew Elizabeth Bennet as one of my favorite fictional heroines since I was seven, and she still is to inspire me.

The tone is the most obvious part of the book to write about: it's in a voice totally unique like I've never read before, but I think is only a bit similar to how Percy Jackson narrates. Holden seems unstable throughout the whole story, but I kept reading it with a sense that one day he'd fix his life somehow.

One of my favorite periods of time is when King Arthur ruled in England, so it wasn't hard for me to admire this tale of chivalry and valiant characters. And the characters that held those qualities, I thought, were more the outlaws than some of the knights in the story. With the humor of Wamba and the uncertain love triangles, Ivanhoe was a wonderfully fanciful story to step into.

The best part of the book can be summed up with two words: Sydney Carton. Immediately he seemed like he'd be the most disappointing, useless character in the whole story but that soon changed by the ending. His lines were the best and beautiful. All the other characters, except maybe Lucy and her husband and child, seemed to fill space in the heinous way of the Revolution.

This frayed beauty of a long ago created book has the most grieved, nut stunning end of all time.

A contemporary blend of rich humor and real life additions.

This book was 607 pages of epicness. There were a few dry chapters here and there, but altogether a well-plotted and very detailed story. I loved the chapter on cetology very much and anyone who is into that type of marine biology would benefit from that; the history of whaling that is discussed with killing and selling isn't forced.

The past and present view on this famous couple by people is either you hate them or like them. I admire how this story presents Zelda Fitzgerald as an intelligent, talented woman struggling for her independence. It's difficult not to admire the works of F. Scott and it's nearly impossible to believe that his wife had no influence on them.

An old tale that I will never tire of, for I wished to be a musketeer.

My favorite play of all time. One of the best quotes of the book is: "one girl is worth twenty boys" and I think that's enough to read the story for.

My first thought is that this book, with such flagrant imagery to the surrounding world, houses no evil in the first letters preceding the story. I would of never have guessed the ending and I felt much more empathetic to the monster than I ever thought could. Victor Frankenstein unknowingly created a grief-stricken destiny for his time.
