The Alchemist
Paulo Coelho
The boy's name was Santiago. Dusk was falling as the boy arrived with his herd at an abandoned church.
The Road
Cormac McCarthy
When he woke in the woods in the dark and the cold of the night he'd reach out to touch the child sleeping beside him. Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one than what had gone before.
Who Moved My Cheese?
Dr. Spencer Johnson
One sunny Sunday in Chicago, several former classmates, who were good friends in school, gathered for lunch, having attended their high school reunion the night before. They wanted to hear more about what was happening in each other's lives.
The Five People You Meet In Heaven
Mitch Albom
This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might been strange to start with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings.
Specimen Days
Michael Cunningham
Walt said that the dead turned into grass, but there was no grass where they'd buried Simon. He was with the other Irish on the far side of the river, where it was only dirt and gravel, and names on stones.
The Tesseract
Alex Garland
There was no bright color in the room. Outside, there was plenty.
The Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty
A.N. Roquelaure
The Prince had all his young life known the story of Sleeping Beauty cursed to sleep for a hundred years, with her parents, the King and Queen, and all of the Court, after pricking her finger on a spindle. But he didnt believe it until he was inside the castle.

The Richest Man In Babylon
George S. Clason
(Mama O's Choice)
Bansir, the chariot builder of Babylon, was thoroughly discouraged. From his seat upon the low wall surrounding his property, he gazed sadly at his simple home and an open workshop in which stood a partially completed chariot.
Sabriel
Garth Nix
(Jezebel's Choice)
The rabbit had been run over minutes before. Its pink eyes were glazed and blood stained its clean white fur.
Siddhartha
Hermann Hesse
(Ekra Tan's Choice)
In the shade of the house, in the sunshine on the river bank by the boats, in the shade of the sallow wood and the fig tree, Siddhartha, the handsome Brahmin's son, grew up with his friend, Govinda.
(But wait! Si sister Kelly from the Philippines, ayaw din mag-paawat. Her favorite book raw should be included din sa list. Eto sya:)
The Prince's Angel:
And The Two Shall Become One
Mychael Black
(Kelly's Choice)
"I summon thee, Zalael, to this place and offer thee this body as your vessel."
Very Inspiring yung kay Kelly ha! Pero chariiit lang po yun! Dahil wala raw syang favorite book. Leche sya! Kahit si Kate Winslet na di marunong magbasa sa The Reader eh meron. Tse nya!
