Book Challenge: Challenge Accepted!

Three friends challenged me on Facebook regarding 10 books that stayed with me in one way or another. The challenge says:

In your status, list 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Don't take more than few minutes and do not think too hard. They do not have to be "right" books or great works of literature, just ones that have affected you in some way. Tag 10 friends including me.

So here's my top 10 list plus, i included quotes that I remember! 

1.    The Diary of a Young Girl- Anne Frank

“But feelings can't be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem”

“No one has ever become poor by giving.”

2.    Tuesdays with Morrie- Mitch Albom

“The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”

“Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.”

3.    The Five People You Meet in Heaven-Mitch Albom

“Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to.”

4.    The Alchemist- Paulo Coelho

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

5.    Master of the Game- Sidney Sheldon

“I'm a woman. I have a right to change my mind.”

6.    The Little Prince- Antoine de Saint Exupery

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

7.    The Falling Leaves – Adeline Yen Mah

8.    Para Kay B- Ricky Lee

10. IQ84 – Haruki Murakami

“Please remember: things are not what they seem.”

I actually enjoyed doing this challenge. I reminds me of the lines that changed the way i think and feel for certain things.  Reading can totally bring you to certain dimensions that you can't imagine.
