[model_mom]

I recommend "Catcher In the Rye" and the "Five People You meet in Heaven."

 

[maverick]

Sorry, I misunderstood the question Ali...

I thought you were asking for books with a religious connotation-- books of an ethereal nature.

 

[Missoni~Heiress]

Maybe books that are religous... if the person believes in a religon it may help them keep strong...

Geeze, what is the big deal. Recommend books you like, it's not rocket science. Don't make something out of nothing.

As already mentioned Catcher in the Rye, and I'm going to recommend Angela's Ashes.

I agree, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill A Mocking Bird, and The Diary of Anne Frank are a must read.

I would also like to recommend a more contemporary novel: The Time Traveler's Wife. I'm too young to be in a relationship, but reading this book made me think this is what it would be like. (Through all the obstacles and heartbreak, etc.)

Blindness by Jose Saramago <3

 

[susie_bubble]

The Forsyte Saga - John Galsworthy
The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

[scblonndie]

The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye were mentioned, so I'll go with The Stranger by Albert Camus and On The Road by Jack Keruac.
