Answer 11

Well I'm going to say Twilight, because I'm a massive promoter of the book ;) You should read it :)

I think that a book that will move you though is Brida by Paulo Coelho. It's about finding your destiny through magic, and the Traditions of the Sun and Moon. I was lost in the pages, I found it quite fascinating.

I've also heard that The Alchemist by the same author is amazing, and is also about destiny. I have purchased it, but have yet to read it.

Hope that helps a tad :)

Most of them are really REALLY good.
