Only Paulo Coelho, Neil Gaiman, and Haruki Murakami can satisfy my literature cravings. My library is teeming with their works (I have all of their books save for Gaiman's Sandman series and a couple of Murakami's novels). My favorite Coelho is Veronika Decides to Die. Every woman is bound to like this one. I believe it's the story of my life although I've never been committed to a mental institution. Well, at least, not yet. The movie adaptation is a FAIL though. Coelho once said that he wouldn't let anyone make a film out his books, I wish he kept his word. Next on my Coelho list are By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, 11 Minutes, and Like the Flowing River. As for Gaiman, I can't really decide which one I like best. He's a genius. I'd be his Paduan any time of the day. All hail the master! Then, we have Murakami. His style is undeniably weird. But I like him that way. He forces his readers to think and imagine.

 

Anyway, I also love Robert Fulghum, Roald Dahl, Anne Rice, Robert Greene, Audrey Niffenegger, and Gregory Maguire. Other books I like include The Mermaid Chair, The Historian, The Virgin Suicides, Water for Elephants, Like Water for Chocolate, So I am Glad, all of Mitch Albom's books, poetry by Pablo Neruda, to name a few. I read Rowling and Brown and they're okay. They deserve the fame they're getting.
