Book suggestions? Best answer rewarded ;)?

I read roughly 60 books in 2007. Unfortunatly, I can't think of any that made a place into my "favorite" catagory other than the ones I re-read. Basically, I'm awful with judging books by their cover. The best books I've read have been ones I wouldn't have chosen myself had someone not recommended them. I also love books that cover a lot of life, such as from childhood or adolescense to young adulthood or adulthood.

Enclosed are some of my favorites so you can get a sense of my style.

The Power of One

White Oleander

Gone with the Wind

The Davinci Code (I kind of enjoyed the sequal)

Alright, I better stop myself.

Book suggestions? Best answer rewarded ;)?
"Intimate Death: How the Dying Teach the Living to Live" or something like that... by Marie DeHenezel. It's a beautiful story about a nurse in France who worked in a palliative care unit at a hospital, and her experieces treating people who were dying of various illnesses like AIDS and cancer... and how they helped her learn a lot about herself in the process.



I also agree with the first reply.. "The Traveler's Gift" is an excellent read.
