My favorites:
Anything Jodi Picoult: While many of them follow a very similar story line where a character must confront a very difficult decision, one where there is no black of white answer, but rather a thousand shades of gray, they all make you think. Think about what you would do, if there really is a right answer and if people can be right in many different ways. I think I have read all but six of her books because while they are similar they force you to think about serious subject in a objective manner, while also being influenced from various character perspectives. My top five: -The Story Teller -The Pact -House Rules -My Sister's Keeper -Nineteen Minutes -Night Train to Lisbon-simply beautifully written. It makes a point to note that all humans can become complacent in our lives and as adventure beckons we can find so much more, we can get involved in lives we never knew and be touched by souls everywhere -The Unbearable Lightness of Being -Ralph Emerson Short Stories -All the Light We Cannot See -The Help -All the Harry Potters -Three Cups of Tea
