I was one year old when this Pope started to rule the Catholic church, needless to say about the big and irreplaceble miss he has brought to my life, so I take his books as the heritage left by him.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but he keeps my Pope in many ways, enough to think that I don’t even read one quarter about everything he represented, so I have few books: John Paul II Life and Memory-- this one was edited right after one week of Pope’s last goodbye… Why do you Travel So Much—this one was writen by a portuguese jornalist that was attending to his travels to the world since 87, and she was gathering her experiences from the travels and wrote this notable book, the title of it was from a kid that asked to the Pope why he travels so much and the Pope said, “Because the world is not only here! you didn’t read what Jesus said?Go, and proclaim the Holy Scriptures to the whole world” Too bad there is not English translation to the book 😦
Another one: “The Secret that Leads the Pope” this book is dedicated to his experience with Fatima ( the sanctuary of the World)

Those are basically the books I’ve read and they are like blessing me the time I read them.
 
I highly recommend reading “Witness to Hope”, the authorized biography of JP II by Weigel. It is somewhat long (about 850 pages), but what you will learn from this will guide you the rest of your life!
 
I’ve read RISE, LET US BE ON OUR WAY. What took me by surprise is the simplicity in how he puts things here…as compared to some of the encyclicals…of course there are different goals of each work…but this style reminds me of a grandfather telling stories to his grandson.

I highly recommend reading it.
