Anything by Dean Koontz...I love the Odd Thomas series
Anything by Stephen King. Talisman is still one of My fav books
The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams...I read this book every year. It's a children's book I know, but there is a very uplifting note of hope and belief within it that I love deeply.
Almost anything by Peter Straub
James Patterson, yes even the letters...There's nothing like a good cry story once in a while.
Anne Rice...Cry to Heaven and The Feast of All Saints are both some of her most beautiful writing but even those don't compare to Exit to Eden. It is still one of my favorite books. No matter how many times I read it, I'm teary eyed. What I wouldn't give for an elliott in my life. Sigh.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe series
Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, The Son of Man, The Earth Gods...anything/everything he's written really.
Pain
And a woman spoke, saying, 'Tell us of Pain.'
And he said:
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
Kahlil Gibran
How lovely is that?
Therein ends my list...I'm off to read Gibran and finish off this merlot.
One more...Anything by Pablo Neruda.
