The Puppy That Lost His Way
Although the part of the story I don't like is that the little boy gave up looking for Happy after an hour. He didn't put posters up or anything, he just sat on the porch like a goon and waited. That little boy's gotta think 'You got a pet. You got a responsibility.' If your dog gets lost you don't look for an hour then call it quits. You get your butt out there and you find that fracking dog.0 -

The Gunslinger by Stephen King
The Gunslinger was such an incredible book. I wish I could bring myself to read the rest of the Dark Tower...
Edit: I will add my three books so I don't flood the forum with replies.
The Gunslinger by Stephen King
Level 26 by Anthony Zuiker (was cool because of the videos that you could watch on the net that went with the book)
Black by Ted Dekker (part of a series that changed my life)0 -
the one that pops into my head is Watership Down by Richard Adams.. I was a kid and it was a HUGE book I didn't think I was ready for....that book sparked my love of reading...and to this day I reread it once a year or so..0
-
The five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom. It's not a religious book, it talks about the importance of self. I guess whenever you're feeling quite small in this big world, if you read this book, you realize you have more of an impact on friends, family, and strangers than you originally thought. Easy read and beautiful lesson.0

Oh, the places you'll go.. .Dr. Seuss (seriously!)
The Five People you Meet in Heaven
Crime and Punishment...(only because it was a REALLY hard read and I taught myself I could stick to something I did not enjoy...much like dieting)0 -
1 - The Book of Job in the Bible
2 - The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
3 - Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn0 -
The Sneeches and Other Stories by Dr Seuss
Great book about recognizing and dealing with prejudice in it's many different forms and why it's good that every being is unique and special in their own way. The last story in the book, "The Pants With Nobody Inside Them" really helped me think about and deal with my fear of the unknown.0
