The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield - the most recent book I've read, lent to me by none other than the lovely Becky! Details nine 'insights for living' found in an ancient manuscript in the jungles of Peru, told as an adventure story. I loved it! A Witch Alone by Marian Green Abel's Island, William Steig. Although this is a children's book that can be read in one sitting, I saw a deeper meaning in the story. Read it if you loved books like Charlotte's Web or Stuart Little when you were young. The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell Letters from the Earth, Mark Twain Le Petit Prince, Antoine de St. Exupéry Shakti Gawain's Return to the Garden A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Black Beauty, Anna Sewell The Black Stallion Series by Walter Farley -- classic horse books! Dandelion Wine, Ray Bradbury What kind of list would this be without J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series...one of the best-written, most controversial children's series I have encountered in a long time The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger George Orwell's Animal Farm
