omg, anna is gonna recommend medical books?? 
nope, I just wont read em, anna...no wayyyyyyy.
To mylene, here are a few books that have earned 3 thumbs up (borrowing madd's thumb for the 3rd thumb)
1. The Little Prince - Antoine de St. Exupery
2. The Greatest Miracle in The World - Og Mandino
3. The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy
These books are exemplary reads and I assure you, you will really enjoy them. I've not read them only once but a lot of times and almost always, I discover a facet from the book that I wasnt able to pick up the first time I read it.
However if you enjoy whodunnits like I do with a dash of forensic science, I highly recommend Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter trilogy if you havent read them:
1. Red Dragon
2. The Silence of the Lambs
3. Hannibal
Harris is the first author that I have read who wrote about a serial killer with such intellect that you almost wonder how he was conceived in Harris' mind. Is fiction based on truth? I'm sure there are a lot of good criminal/forensic fiction books out there but I haven't had the opportunity to read them.
Patricia Cornwell writes about forensic medicine too in her books starring Dr. Kay Scarpetta but most of the time, its just a light read...you know, keeps your entertained late at night when you aren't sleepy.
Oh gosh...there are so many books to recommend, so little time...

well, I think that Hannibal Lector books can be considered "medical" in a way....they have something to do with dissection.
eeeewwwwwwwww

A good book I read about 3 years ago called "Who Moved My Cheese"- An amazing way to deal with change at work and in life. by Spencer Johnson
Well for the dudes I recommend books about sports I just read Seabiscuit. This book is a biography of the horse and his owners and the historical aspects of the great depression years.
Bootleggers Boy an autobiography of Coach Barry Switzer and the Oklahoma Univestiy Sooners football team in the 70s and 80s.
The Undefeated by Jim Dent a book about Oklahoma Universtity Sooner football and their winning streak from 1953 to 1957. This winning streak still stands today.(if u dont like oklahoma football thats cool, but these 2 books have some real funny stories in them)
Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger a book about High School football in Odessa, Texas.
Fiction sport books that are good are:
North Dallas Forty(very humerous but real look at the game)
Semi Tough (just plain knee slapping funny)

My all time favorite book is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott..... it's a very good book.... reading it makes you feel like you're part of the March family. I've read it about three times already and I have always enjoyed it. I don't recommend it for guys though for it's quite girlish. 
Great Expectations by Charles dickens is great too.  I don't like the ending though... I wish life has been more kind to Pip and Estella.
John Grisham's books are a good read too. At first I thought it's boring. All those law stuff... and I'm not even interested in law.  The Firm, The Client, A Time to Kill, The Runaway Jury, The Testament.... give them a try. It's worth it.

Mayy giving up reading medicine books already? you will still read more when you practice..only there's a bit difference...you will be reading medical journals more..  i think being a doctor is what i can't do..financially, emotionally, physically, etc. wise and it's the reading, reading, and reading the books that discouraged me.. i wonder where these medicine students get the energy of reading 10 chapters or more everyday..
anyway may, i'll gladly recommend these books for you:
- William's obstetrics
- NElson's textbook of pediatrics
- Snell. Clinical anatomy
-etc, etc..hehe
And Ree, I can recommend a medicine book of ocean vacation places... and that's Hematology book

Williams Obstetrics - read that
Nelson's Pediatrics - read that
Snell's Clinical Anatomy - read that
Thanks for the recommendation, Anna. Are you gonna give me the whole list of the medschool textbooks I'm done schooling, I'm not a medical student anymore
However, if you have the complete National Medical Series Reviewers and the Board Review Series then I would like to borrow them.
