    It can range between any genres, share the title of one of your most beloved and/or must read books. A title of the book I enjoyed is Influence: Science and practice by Robert B. Cialdini

    As far as re-readability, Dancer from the Dance by Andrew Holleran. I've read it at least ten times.

    The Kite Runner and Wonder by RJ Palacio are great. Wonder isn't the most challenging read, but it is so good. You may need tissues while you read.

    My favourite books are any mystery novel by Joan Lowery Nixon - my favourite among those being The Other Side of Dark and The Haunting.

    Do comic books count? If so then there are plently more things I can add (e.g. pretty much any Batman issue written by Grant Morrison or Scott Snyder)...

    To Kill a Mockingbird By Harper Lee

    Nothing will beat this book for me. I fell in love with it when we read it in English class sophomore year
