The most memorable book I've read is 'A basket of flowers'. I read the book a very long time ago as a teenager, cant even remember the author but the book is a transformer.

You are right, it's good to read so as to be informed and exposed even though you have not been there. I had read Pride and Prejudice too,Jane Eyre, 5 Pieces of Jade, the Cradle will fall (most memorable), there are just too plenty of them but can't remember their titles
