Geez. Five?!

o1. Desperation by Stephen King.
o2. Cell by Stephen King.
o3. Cradle and All by James Patterson.
o4. Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill.
o5. Jack the Ripper: The Facts by Paul Bogg // OR // Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King.

Yeah. Those would be my five. They're all books that taught me something about life, even if I've forgotten the lesson by now. I'd love to find the time to read them all again.
