"Again and again, the porcupine has been a teacher, a storyteller of the woods, a complexifier and adorner of the world."
Uldis Roze, "The North American Porcupine"
For me there are a few: The bronze horseman series, Wuthering Heights, The bridges of madison county, Jane Eyre...I could go on but I might get a bit excited thinking about all that lurve and I have to fold the washing.
Check out some Paulo Coelho.
Tess of the D'Urbervilles

The one love that I connect to the most would be in William Goldman's Marathon Man. The way he works himself up is exactly what I and probably a lot of others do. It's mostly a spy/mystery novel but it only adds to the suspense. He's also overall a very good writer, and only cuts to the chase for dramatic effect, never to buy off the reader.
Justified procrastination is the main thing busy people have that lazy people want.
I , of course love all the classics, Jane Eyre Wuthering Heights etc etc but I've also grown fond of some of the more obscure authors. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (possibly my favorite book ever), Villette, a lesser known book by Charlotte Bronte, Georgette Heyer.
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold is another favorite. It isn't mushy romantic but very poignant.
Antony Cleopatra was a classic. You can not top that.
