There are a few.
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice & Persuasion. Why? Simplest explanation: I identify with Lizzy and Anne the most, they give me hope.
Dave Eggers's A Heartbreaking Story of Staggering Genius. Why? Wow...Jesus--it's amazing. It is simply one of those books you stay up until 3AM reading. It makes you laugh, cry and above all, think.
Georgette Heyer's Devil's Cub. Why? It's a brilliantly detailed book. All of hers are--when you read Georgette Heyer's works, you're not reading historical chick lit. She is able to vividly describe thing as if you are there. Not only is it an absolute pleasure to read (I laughed out loud to myself more times than I can remember) but the heroine is to me, the most relatable. I adore her, she's not your average woman, she puts her family above all else, is clever, has common sense, witty and not your typical beauty. not to say she isn't pretty, she's just not the 'desirable female' of the time. He is impulsive, reckless, stubborn, funny, crazy, passionate and well, amazing.
William Shakespeare's As You Like It. Why? It was my first and one of my favorites. There isn't a character I love. To be honest, I fell in love with it when I was about 6 and I never fell out of love. The name Orlando has always had a special place in my heart because of this play.
There are a few more but I can't remember them at the moment.
