Even the movie stole my heart!!
Gone With The Wind is my most treasure book

So far here are some of the books that I enjoyed:

Spanking Shakespeare - Jake Wizner

P.S. I Know, the last 3 were business books:) Surprisingly easy read once you get the hang of it.

I just finished reading "East of Eden", I'll give it a 7. JMO. Peace!

Oooopsie,

I forgot to mention that I highly recommend "Spanking Shakespeare" by Jake Wizner and "Getting Over It" by Anna Maxted .

Laugh Out Loud funny, I swear to God I almost peed my pants:))

To Sbella,

I consider East of Eden as one of the best story and book ever written. J.S. is a gifted writer. But I personally recommend you Shiver. I'm sure you'll like it! It's a trilogy. The second book is Linger which will come out on July 2010. I can't wait to read it!

To CrisT,

You and I mostly have the same titles there! I also like the 7 habits book you mentioned. If you are more of the business books, I am more into Psychology books. Personality theories of different Psychologists is what I am mostly fond of. It makes you understand people.

Gone With The Wind --- Margaret Mitchell
AnnaKarenina ----------- Leo Tolstoy
