47. "Great Expectations." "Density of Souls"
It's great to visit Miss Havisham, the Forge, the Aged One and Pip in "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. There are several movies based on the book, but they can never capture the rich texture of "Great Expectations."

"Density of Souls" is by Christopher Rice. It's a fantastic book whose message is that people who harm others, only end up harming themselves more. In the age of Prop 8, this is a book that provides a message that is both cautionary and demonstrates that those who suffer will eventually be rewarded.
