1. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn
2. The Shining
3. Carrie
4. all Harry Potter books
5. And Then There Were None
my currently-reading shelf:
All Dark, No Stars - Stephen King
Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Harry Potter (all) - J.K. Rowling
Chronicles of Narnia (all) - C.S. Lewis
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime - Mark Haddon
I loved this book until I got to the end. I hated the ending.
You mean the last few sentences about "This little girl is grown up by now"? Yeah, I didn't like that part either. It made me so sad. But I felt like the parts leading up to that were very real, about how life goes on and how people choose to give their children names to commemorate loved ones who have passed. Beautiful book, for all it's ugliness.
The Great Gatsby
1) the art of racing in the rain
2) firefly lane (i've never cried so hard reading a book.... i ugly-cried, and dehydrated myself while doing so).
3) one more day
4) warrior lessons
5) the spirit catches you and you fall down

Fluke, really? That one went off too weird for me, I like some of his others MUCH better, like Coyote Blue, and OMG, "FOOL" was awesome, but then I really like Shakespeare.
1. Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
2. American Gods by Neil Gaiman
3. Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis...most notably Lion, Witch and the Warddrobe
4. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, my favorite being Order of the Phoenix, but taken alone, it would lose too much
5.Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams
this kinda gives it away. i would delete it if somebody else wants to read it.

I really like Christopher Moore's acid-trip humor and style of writing. I feel like since Fluke is one of his earlier books, I should mention that, and because Fluke kinda/sorta touches on the whole Save the Whales thing and the book shows compassion (again in the kinda/sorta acid-trip way) to animals.
I also love Practical Demonkeeping and the vampire spinoffs from Bloodsucking Fiends . But all of Moore's books are total awesome sauce imo.
