Jane Eyre

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

With absolutely no concern for the attitude that I know many have about it, my choice has always been, is and is likely to reamain:

This might be a bit cliche, but Jane Eyre.
Also, Shakespeare's Othello; I've never actually seen it performed, but love reading it. Iago is one of the most powerful characters I have come across...I consider him the archetypal evil.

If we're counting plays, Angels in America, hands down. If not, then Catcher in the Rye.

"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Somewhat cliche, but The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

And honorable mention goes to any Roald Dahl books. I've been obsessed ever since I was able to read. (The Witches? The BFG? Brilliant!)

Pinguin-- I've been meaning to read The Fountainhead for years and never got around to it. I really should.

There are one or two other authors listed here that make me shake my head, but I'll just keep those opinions to myself.
