Books everyone should read...

These are some of my favorite books that I think everyone should read. As I read more I'll probably add to this list, but I'll only add books that I have actually all the way through myself and that I think are actually good. Lord knows, I've read a lot books, and there are more than just these that I have enjoyed. But these are the ones that I really loved and think are important and that everyone would get something out of reading them. (I love anything by Orson Scott Card, but I've only listed what I think are his best books.)
