#5: A book that makes you happy

I just had to go and have a look at my bookshelves just then because nothing came to mind straight away. I mean, there are plenty of books that satisfy me, make me content, make me laugh, make me cry, but books in themselves don't make me happy. I think I'm the only one who can make me happy - or is that just a bit too philosophical?

So anyway, the book that comes the closest to making me happy is The Five People you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom (here's the Wikipedia blurb). It also makes me cry buckets, which I why I've only read it a couple of times.

I guess it makes me happy because it shows the interconnectedness of all things, as well as the value of life, no matter who you are.
