A Separate Peace, John Knowles; I really felt a connection to the story

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald; I just loved it.
Buddha, Deepak Chopra; it was a totally different take on the life of Lord Buddha
And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie; my favorite mystery
The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway; I really enjoyed the natural-ness of the plotline
The Secret, Rhonda Byrne; it totally changed my view of my life and of success
Tantra, Lama Yeshe; another significant religious work
Gathering Blue, Lois Lowry; I love speculative fiction, anything post-apocalyptic is good by me
Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, Kiran Desai; THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL TIME!!!
Forgotten Fire, Adam Bagdasarian; I read it for a school project and loved it
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Mark Haddon; I read it over the summer, and loved the concept of the narrator as an autistic individual

Zach, I don't know all your titles, but the combination of Buddhism with Agatha Christie, Hemingway and Fitzgerald is a striking one. The one I'm most curious about is the Desai book; why is that the greatest book of all time?
