I like to read so this is a topic where I can't really give just one answer. The first book that popped into my head though is "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks. I actually fell in love with the movie first and then decided to read the book. They have their differences as any movie adaptation of a book does but both are equally appealing and just a beautiful story. This book and movie are what really made me believe in romance. I was never into such stories until "The Notebook."
The other book I have to mention is "Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain" by Portia De Rossi. It is a memoir mostly based on her struggles with anorexia and homosexuality. It took me 3 days to read this book. And it only took me that long because I had interruptions - work, sleep, loud people at home. I honestly didn't want to put the book down. It was so revealing and honest and it just shocked and confused me how much we put ourselves through sometimes when we can't acknowledge who we truly are. As someone who judges herself much more harshly than others judge me, I could relate to some of the struggles Portia faced within herself. It's a must read.
