Book Recommendations to Remember

I'd posted: Think I need a book recommendation. I tend to go classics over modern. I just want to read something beautiful, like I felt about "East of Eden" or Didion's essays or "Endless Love." And not something tragic ("The Kite-runner" was too much for me). Just beautiful.

Here are some of the recommendations I received:

• The River Why
• The Brothers K
• Tom Robbins
• The Book Thief
• The Secret Life of Bees
• The Help
• The Time Traveler's Wife
• The 2nd Restatement of Torts
• One, by Richard Bach
• Rainwater, by Sandra Brown
• The Orphan's Tales duology by Catherynne Valente
• A History of Rasselas
• Kate Chopin
• Jhumpa Lahiri
• Bel Canto, by Ann Patchett
• West with the Night, by Beryl Markham (x2)
• The Red Tent
• The Art of Racing in the Rain
• Dovekeepers
• Wild
• Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
• A Soldier of the Great War, by Mark Helprin
• Watership Down 
• Love in the Time of Cholera (which I guess I'll have to try a THIRD time)

Since I had it on my bookshelf, and I read it over 10 years ago but don't remember it, I'm actually starting with Les Misérables, which I remember really loving originally. We'll see how that goes, but I'm really interested in taking on one of these books...
