What Are the Most Captivating Novels to Read?

In summary, this place is great and I am very impressed with the people here. I finished 'Alchemist' last night and it was really amazing. I am interested in science fiction, motivational, and all kind of noble books which are heart-wrenching. Cliff Robertson won the only science fiction "Best Actor" Oscar in history. 'Temple' by Matthew Reilly is a good choice for sci-fi buffs. 'The Da Vinci Code' was superb too. But if you've just begun reading, don't miss 'Sherlock Holmes'. Holmes' indian counterpart 'Feluda' (satyajit ray) is pretty good too.

Coelho's book, La Quinta Montaña (The Fifth Mountain), is also interesting, and very intense.

"The Pilgrimage" is also interesting and very surreal.

Kind of science fiction (it won a Hugo and a Nebula award), but very moving: Flowers for Algernon, by Daniel Keyes. (The Hugo was for the original short story - the Nebula for when Keyes expanded it into a novel.)

And leave us not neglect that it was turned into my second favourite movie, 'Charly', for which Cliff Roberston won the only science fiction "Best Actor" Oscar in history. (The other contender doesn't count to me because Mr. Hyde was a fantasy character as opposed to an SF one.)

The best for Paolo Coelho was Veronika decides to die, amazing job, also i sat by the river Piedra and cried, this guy is just great, my 1st was the alchemist also..

I like russians, classicals, like Leo Tolstoy's war and peace, amazing work, there was the time that i really wished that this book will never end..I don't remember I've ever enjoyed reading anything that big with such an interest...Russians are quite boring in the beginning though..

Uhumm i mostly like classics, i lvoe Hugo's les miserables and notre dame de paris, as i studied them @ school (it was a french one) and the guy gets so deep in the psychological aspect of each character..

Virginia woolf, very smart writing, unlike classics, she's so different and uc an feel it, she ahs such a rythm..

Moliere can be extreemly entertaining at times..

I've read a lot of stuff, my grandma used to give me a lot of books to read but these are my favourites..
