CH's Absolute Favorite (Adult) Books

My previous list "CH's 25 Absolute Favorite Books," may have surprised many people because it contained so many children's books! What can I say? I am a kid-lit nerd in my 30s. HOWEVER, I have decided to make a new additional list of my favorite books for adults because more people may identify with these books.
P.S. This list does include some YA/Teen books that many adults read.
Edit: Argh! Every time I make a list I accidentally leave something out! Another favorite book is A Novel Bookstore by Laurence Cosse
