What's on your reading list?

I've been reviewing applications since November, with a couple of months still to go before we mail our decision letters. I've noticed quite a few students' essays discuss a love of reading, an obsession with reading or an addiction to books. Many teachers are describing students as being "voracious readers".

So I wonder if you would offer your suggestions to me? While I enjoy reading application essays, it's nice to take a break and I'm looking for some books to add to my reading list. Do you have a favorite book or author to recommend? Thanks in advance!
