I'm searching for a new book. Some of my favorites are Wuthering Heights, Life of Pi, My Sister's Keeper, and I know This Much is True.
So what are you reading or what's your favorite book?
PS- This is going to be a post and run. I've got meetings all day. Boo.
Re: What are you reading?
I just finished a book by Brandon Sanderson this weekend, Firefight. I've read everything he's written and really think he is my favorite contemporary writer. If you like sci-fi at all give him a shot. It's not crazy out there either, great characters.
Unfortunately my reading until May is all school related now.

Right now I am in the middle of Robyn Carr's Thunder Point series.
I also love to read Nora Roberts, Lee Child, Jennifer Weiner, and David Baldacci just to name a few.
I love "trashy" books like historical romance novels (Lisa Kleypas, Gaelen Foley, Julia Quinn, etc.) when I feel overwhelmed in life with work, child, pregnancy blahs. Such great escapism. Outlander is also good....at least for the first couple of books (I got really annoyed around book 4). Although these are probably more than romance novels.
When I feel the need to stretch my brain muscles, I read a lot of non-fiction (mostly stuff about WW1 and 19th century Europe) and more high brow fiction (recently read "Life After Life" and the Ken Follet trilogy. Both great).

Anna karenina
The deed of paksennarion (one of the best coming of age and fantasy books)
Otherland - 4 book series by tad Williams is unstoppable excitement
I really liked the new one by Elizabeth Gilbert... Forget the title. Something about plants.
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
My Antonia
ETA- Oh and the Sookie Stackhouse series. The show True Blood is (rather loosely) based off of these books if you're into that realm. I found the books far better than the show.
I just finished Revival by Stephen King a couple hours ago. It was pretty good, if you don't mind being a little disturbed. I am trying to decide if I want to continue on the King train and finish The Dark Tower Series (I'm on book 5), or start the Outlander series, or finish the Ascension series by SM Reine (on book 5). Decisions, decisions....
Mitch albom is great and so is austen burroughs, running with scissors.
The Deepest Secret by Carla Buckley. Awesome. Very Jodi Piccult ish. It's about a mom doing whatever it takes to protect her son, who has a deadly disease that causes any exposure to UV light to be fatal. Twisty and superb!
And Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight. Really great! A high school girl supposedly commits suicide, but her mom just doesn't believe it. She and the police retrace her daughter's life until they get to the bottom of what really happened.
