Ellen DeGeneres favorite books:

1. The Art Of Racing In The Rain: A Novel by Garth Stein
   
   
   (literature and fiction)
   
   "Ever since 12-year-old Mimi Ausland gave me the book "The Art of Racing in the Rain," I haven't been able to put it down. It's about the life of a race car driver, told from the perspective of his dog, Enzo! Trust me, you're gonna love this story -- even those who are skeptical about talking canines.
   
   Your family will love it. Your friends will love it. And call me a gambler, but I'd put money on the fact that even your cats will want you to read it to them again and again."
   
   


2. The Power Of Intention: Learning To Co-create Your World Your Way by Wayne W. Dyer
   
   
   (self-help, health, religion and spirituality)
   
   KW: Bookworm Troy Johnson asks, what was the last book you read?
   
   ED: "Probably Wayne Dyer's book, The Power of Intention. "
