27. Memoirs of a Geisha
I remember reading "Memoirs of a Geisha" in grade 9 and really enjoying it. Sometimes I like to re-read books to remember them again. This book is so beautiful. I absolutely love the details and the character development, especially seeing everything though Chiyo/Sayuri's blue-grey eyes.
If you want to learn about another culture completely, I highly recommend "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden. It's definitely one of my all-time favourite books.

26. Angels and Demons
Looks like I'm on a Dan Brown high! I bought this book for $4 at BMV (my favourite book store). It was such an amazing book! I know, I know, Dan Brown uses the same formula for all his books--but I still really enjoy them. His books are so suspenseful and interesting.
