for children...........Charlotte's Web for teens..............Prince of Tides for college..............Atlas Shrugged for adulthood.............hopefully you've read all the good ones by then, and can spend the remainder of your time reading Stephen King, John Grisham, et al

Great question, but immediately 4 or 5 books came to mind..... leaving The Holy Bible aside, of course. I'm gonna think on this a bit before posting my final answer.

Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl While there are many other books that I enjoyed reading more, I believe that this one effected me the most. I first read this when I was pretty young.... I was probably just about the same age as Anne Frank, when she wrote it. It may have been required reading in school, but I don't remember. In any case, hearing about genocide, from a victim's viewpoint, personalized the Holocaust for me.

For a real life situation I loved Zlata's Diary, much like Anne Frank it is about the Bosnia and Herzegovina war and a little girl trapped in it. Sci-Fi / Fantasy I love all of Anne Mccaffrey with the Dragons Pern series being the best. Mysteries I love all the old Sherlock Holmes.

My favorites (which I am lucky, I get to teach some of these), Are You There God, It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume, The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell, Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, and my all time favorites...any book by Beverly Cleary (Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Beezus and Ramona, Dear Mr. Henshaw, Ramona and Her Mother, Socks, A Girl From Yamill, Ramona Forever, Henry Huggins, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Ralph S. Mouse).

Stop, you're making me want to read it again and I can't afford to leisure read until next week. My absolute favorite line in literature (because it evokes so many of my own childhood memories): "Matches were bad, but cards were deadly."

And if I were in the business of having more children, they would be called Scout or Atticus or Finch. I think I am loyal to the book too because it was self-selected, it sure wasn't a book taught in my Tennessee mountains high school.

I've been thinking about this for several days. There are just so many and I didn't want to post without giving it some thought. My old literature professors would be disappointed, I'm sure, but here we go... At this moment, I'd say Grisham's The Chamber and The Innocent Man. Both are thought provoking. From childhood, I'm leaning toward A Wrinkle in Time.
