I just finished reading a book, a book I've read before and will doubtlessly read again. A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. It's an absolutely amazing book, one of the most emotionally evocative works I've ever read. It's a captivating story of youth, self-discovery, love and god. Set in the late 50s, it's the story of a 17-year-old guy who finds his life intertwined with the unpopular, withdrawn reverend's daughter. His emotional journey and discovery that ensues is captivating, honest, ocassionally ugly and I think familiar to everyone who's loved and been loved.

I can't recommend this book enough, and I'd have to suggest reading it before the film version hits theatres in a few weeks.
