I have read many of the books listed here but my favorite book of all time is Charlotte’s Web.

Such an incredible book about acceptance, friendship and love.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Vanity Fair
Middlemarch
War and Peace (I know it's really long, but give it a try. It's stunning)
A Midwife's Tale

Clearly, I love 19th-century fiction.

Oh, and a PP's list reminded me that I forgot to add Faulkner to my list. Absalom, Absalom rips me apart every time.

Based in a true story.
It's about a prison break which might sound boring - but it is not! VERY good!!

If you liked Papillon, you might also enjoy Serpico by Peter Maas. About a NYC cop who refused to take bribes.

So many good books on this thread! I'll add:

Trade Wind, M.M. Kaye

Lost Horizon, James Hilton

Girl On a Swing, Richard Adams

Love Story, Erich Segal - such a tearjerker!

Pet Sematary, Stephen King- I read this after I had a stillbirth and the themes of love, grief, and desperation were so powerful to me.

Also, the James Herriott books. Hilarious, heartbreaking, inspiring - just wonderful.
