    Hi, I have only three list of books to share but its worth ten books:) I have always been reading the books of Mitch Albom. I'm done with "Tuesdays with Morrie" , "Five People You Meet in Heaven" and now the philosophical novel "For One More Day". You may want to try them too. You will learn a lot of lessons in life:thumbsup

    Moonstone was a good read for me. One of my favorite books during school days. Would love to reread it again sometime.

    Two more good reads during school days were "The mill on the Floss" and "Mayor of Casterbridge".. the concept of selling his wife in the later novel was a new idea!

    helpmeangel,

    Moonstone is one of my favorite books as well :) Isn't it known as the first detective novel? I read other books by Wilkie Collins but nothing is as good as moonstone.
