Just as the title implies, it's about the five people you meet in heaven. I won't give anything away, but the main character meets five people who have greatly impacted his life or whose lives he has impacted greatly. It's amazing. You have no idea. I cried.

World War Z is by Max Brooks, I only know because it's right next to me lol. I have to read it for a class soon. It's a good read then?

Sadly, all my books are not with me right now. So, I'll try to do this off the top of my head.

Anything by Carol Berg
Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief series (LOVE 'em)
Circle of Magic series by Tamora Pierce
Anything by Annette Curtis Klause
Cate Tiernan's Balefire series
Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
Anything by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Ow, my head hurts now... but there's so many more.
I've never found someone else that likes Circle of Magic, that was such a good series.

I didn't really read that many books that were part of a series. Though, when I did, it was way back when I was really young, so the ones I'm listing are...yeah, just a bit, yeah.

Series:
- The Song of the Lioness
- A Series of Unfortunate Events
- Harry Potter
- Artemis Fowl
- The Vampire Chronicles
- Avalon: Web of Magic (BACK WHEN I WAS A YOUNGIN')
- There were two other series that I really loved...but they're in storage right now and the names just escape me for some reason, hur hur.

Authors:
- DON'T ASK ME TO PICK. JUST DON'T. Though, I do like reading essays and poetry written by José Antonio "Tony" Burciaga. They're just...nnng.

Books:- Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros ( ... )

I like never read, but there are a few...

- The Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
- Harry Potter by what's-her-face
- The Liar by Stephen Fry
- When you are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris (HA-LARIOUS. It's more of a journal/autobiography?)

And really, that's all I can think of. Minus the books I read for a YA Lit class during winter. I tend to get my reading material from my mom FYI, because she reads sooo much more than me.

I also picked up a book called The Pink Triangle last year, which was really interesting/sad ;; I don't remember who wrote/translated it. It was Nazi stuff though, so bawwws are to be had. ;;
