Writer's Block: A real eye opener

I can't pick just one book. I read everyday, literally, and so many of the books I read are so good. Here are just a few:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is the first book that comes to mind. I loved it so much the first time I read it that I e-mailed the author. And he e-mailed me back! It's a very sad book, but it's also wonderful and amazing.
Le Petit Prince or The Little Prince is another wonderful book. I've read it too many times to count in French and once in English. I personally think it's better in French, but the English translation certainly isn't bad. It's short and simple and very good.
I would also recommend anything Isaac Asimov has ever written. Sadly I didn't discover his work until I was 28 years old, and I'm playing catch up reading everything I should have read sooner. His writing is amazing now, but it becomes even more amazing when you consider how long ago he wrote. Often while reading him I have to pause and give myself time to take in what I just read. I haven't found anything he's written that I didn't love.
My final recommendation is the Calvin an Hobbes comic strips by Bill Watterson. Some of the strips are just silly and fun, but a lot of them contain important messages. Those comics will make you laugh one minute and make you think hard about something the next.
