Answer 6

how to make love like a p**n star by Jenna Jameson

Answer 7

the best would have to be Pride and Prejudice. I can't help but relate every page to real life and notice that Elizabeth is one of the most realistic characters ever created. She has emotions, flaws, and feelings that when combined seem real enough so that the reader can take a story set hundreds of years ago and compare it to todays drama

Answer 8

In the Bible the book of Esther.

Answer 9

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

Answer 10

the glass castle

Answer 11

Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell

Scarlet O'Hara is one great piece of art, well, literature in this case.

Answer 12

Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block.

Answer 13

Jane Eyre by far. Amazing!!! Did you find it to be a feminist novel?  What did you think of the portrayed of all of the male characters in the novel?  Were you upset when she settled for Mr. Rochester?  Did she really love him? I didn't think she did.  I believe that Rochester was the first kind guy in her life and instead of a husband, she was looking for a father figure.  She confused a love from a father (which she ultimately desired) for love from a husband.  I was a bit disappointed by the ending.  Why, after such an exciting life did she settle for Rochester? Why didn't she stay single?  Anyway, great novel based on a female character can definitely see the underlying issues in Charlotte Bronte.  Emma by Jane Austen was pretty good too.  

Answer 14

Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali... it's her autobiography.

Answer 15

Answer 16

Without doubt, Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."

As for something a little more modern, Tanya Huff's "Victoria Nelson Series" (aka The Blood Books) are pretty awesome.

I love both female leads :]

Answer 17

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin based on the character Elizabeth Bennet.
