Everyone should read this book. It is beautifully yet simply written, and it speaks to people of all walks of life. Definitely a book I can pick up any time and reread just for the pleasure of it.

This book is simply adorable. If you're a sucker for cute animal pictures, it is certainly worth picking up. Beyond the cute photos, the book's message really does inspire a glass-half-full attitude (even on the gloomiest of days). If nothing else, it's great for a few good laughs and maybe even an "Aww!" or two.


Dictionary of Symbolism : Cultural Icons and the Meanings Behind Them

Great book to reference for literary analysis papers, although probably more useful for high school level or lower university level writing than for anything more serious. Even so, an interesting book to flip through from time to time, lots of good information.

At any given time: off-beat, odd, interesting, hilarious, and/or straight-up ridiculous. Definitely a great book for procrastination, entertainment, or a rainy day.

I think anyone could relate to this book in some way or another. It's a really touching, quirky, sometimes heart-wrenching, down-to-earth and yet fantastic story. I really think the structure/style and perspective of the narrator are what make this book unique and amazing.
