I'm bulleting them, 'cause I'd never be able to rank them. It is, as it is, a hard task to pick five; I love each one of these, almost equally. The characters live in me.

The Winner Stands Alone / Veronica Decides to Die - Paulo Coelho
Rage of Angels - Sidney Sheldon {I heart this, almost pathetically. }
The Fault in our Stars - John Green
Harry Potter Series - JKR
Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

They're already six, instead of five, and yet I'd go on to say that you must give Paulo Coelho books a severe read. All of them, if possible. These two are my heaviest obsessions, but I'm pretty crazy about the rest too.

And when you're done with Coelho, jump on to Sidney Sheldon and ravish each one of his works too. No one in this fat, wide world can weave suspense the way this man does.

Toodles!

Hello there,
Great to meet another coehlo fan. It takes lots of in depth understanding and reading to get the feel of coelho's stuff 😆 He was one of my first authors and fav too ❤️ But am surprised to see Veronica decides to die as your fav coelho book it is generally alchemist for most people. 😆 Is it that good? I've begun the book but then i started something else and forgot about it. 😆 Have you read By the river piedra? Now THAT IS a love story worth your time and effort ❤️

Yolo!

Great to meet you, too!

Agreed. Coelho-books have this overwhelming depiction of SocioMoral issues of the mankind, taboo at times (Eleven Minutes, for instance), that they are subjected less to the liking of commoners.

I began with Brida, on a boring Summer afternoon. I was, obviously, mesmerised. Then I caught hold of The Winner Stands Alone. And BAM - I was smitten! 😆 Later, I devoured on all of his books I could get my hands on.

Veronica Decides to Die is heavenly. You must, must read it. Actually, these three - By the River Piedra, Veronica Decides to Die and The Devil and Miss Prym - make up to a trilogy called 'And on the Seventh Day'. Though totally unrelated, as you must've realised, but they strive to be tales of Seven Days of the protagonist's life.

(For Pilar's life, you must've noticed.)

And yes, Piedra is truly a love story worth all the time and efforts. ❤️
