#5 The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruíz Záfon

A mystery about a cemetery of forgotten books, a faceless man who obsessively seeks the last copies of an author's work to burn them and the boy who protects the only surviving (and sought after) copy of "The Shadow of the Wind".
And it's set in Barcelona.

I make it seem simplistic, but it's a very powerful romance with some gothic and fantastic elements, as well as a great love story.
