The Bells
This work is my absolute most favorite poem I have ever read.It tends to get stuck in my head, actually. It is wonderfully lyrical.
Life of Pi
Despite the interesting twist at the end, the book as a whole only reiterated values already hammered into my brain. The writing was still lovely, and I found the imagery to be quite vivid, to say the least.

The Lovely Bones
Read it too early in my life to appreciate the book... was more horror-struck than anything else, and officially distrustful of overly friendly neighbors.
Russian Fairy Tales (Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library)
I started reading this easily four years ago... I keep coming back to it.
The Death of Ivan Ilyich (Bantam Classics)
The first Leo Tolstoy novel I have encountered (and probably the last "novel" - his other works, as far as I have seen, are considerably thicker!), "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" is just... incredible. I believe he wrote this several years after completing Anna Karenina (I am working on that one at the present), and I believe his prose has matured considerably.An excellent read for the little cynic in me. :)
Maximum Ride Saving The World And Other Extreme Sports
I have to say I love the title of this book. It's the sort of dry humor I love. :)
