A Woman of No Importance, by Oscar Wilde
Who, being loved, is poor?

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll,
It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then

Anne of Green Gables, Lucy Maud Montgomery
When you are imagining, you might as well imagine something worth while.

Autumn Leaves, by André Gide,
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Catch-22, by Joseph Heller,
Anything worth dying for is certainly worth living for.

Diary, by Chuck Palahniuk,
The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

Different Seasons, by Stephen King,
Get busy living, or get busy dying (The Shawshank Redemption)

@ Three of this book's four novellas are better known as films, and rightly so. But the fourth has an odd, unsettling power: The Shawshank Redemption, Stand by me, Apt Pupil, The Breathing Method
@ The story of his escape is a metaphor for your life. He’s trapped in prison and wrongfully there. Don’t you feel like it’s not your fault you’re in the situation you’re in?. The best way to start your escape is to just do it. Take action. Don’t listen to the ugly people. Follow your passion or dreams.
@ What Does “Get Busy Living” Mean to You?: Does it mean start living your life how you dream it to be now?. Does it mean carpe diem?. Does it mean following your passion?. Does it mean taking less pay but having more free time? To sum up everything I wrote: Are you truly living life or just waiting to die?

Divergent, by Veronica Roth,
Fear doesn’t shut you down; it wakes you up.

@ to stop someone from doing something
@ The novel has been compared to other young adult books such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner because of its similar themes and target audience. In particular, the novel explores the themes common to young adult fiction, such as adult authority and the transition from childhood to maturity, as well as such broader motifs as the place of violence and social structures within a post-apocalyptic society. Its major plot device, the division of society into personality types, is one used in other science fiction works

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J.K. Rowling
It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

P.S. I Love You, H.Jackson Brown Jr.,
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

@ P.S. I Love You: When Mom Wrote She Always Saved the Best for Last (valuable advice about the issues of wisdom, hope, humor, and faith): "No matter how hard you hug your money, it never hugs you back," says one P.S.  "Middle age is when you have two choices and you choose the one that gets you home earlier, " says another.

The Five People You Meet In Heaven, by Mitch Albom. 
All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time.

@ Is a wonderfully moving fable that addresses the meaning of life, and life after death, in the poignant way that made TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE such an astonishing book.

Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk
I don’t want to die without any scars * It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.

@ Do we really need to own what they're selling, become what they want us to become, think what they want us to think.
@ 'More is Less' and vice-versa, as you see through Tyler Durden, who is almost the opposite of The narrator in the sense of materialism. "Advertisement has us chasing cars and clothes, getting jobs we don't want to buy shit we don't need." This is very important in the understanding of Fight Club, as it shows that big-name brands and in-fashion things are only wanted because of their advertisement and reputation among the lifeless society who live in this world. Basically, people are living unnecessary lives as they work the job that they can get, buy the things that they 'want' but only because of advertisement. Tyler is very anti-materialistic, and The narrator creates him because he can sabe him  from living in the world that is now pointless and mistaken.

Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe
It is never too late to be wise
The Two Towers, by J.R.R. Tolkien
There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.
 
The Vampire Lestat, Anne Rice
None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.

To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee.
Most people are nice when you finally see them
