Dr. Suess' Oh the Places You'll Go. This book is wonderful for anyone from kindergarten to retirement. I have heard it read by a company CEO at a college Career Day, at a high school graduation, on a TV series to a child who suffered a family tragedy. I have given it to my nephews upon their high school graduations (with a $100 check). I own it myself. Wonderfully inspiring book.

Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind -- The best novel ever written. Characters so life like they leap off the pages. Scenery so vivid you feel like you are reliving the civil war. A classic for all time. Sharon Kay Penman's Sunne in Splendor -- A masterpiece of historical fiction.

I'm really thankful for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series! Mostly I'm just thankful that I discovered them after the first four had come out. If I'd had to wait for the third and fourth ones, I don't think I would have made it.
