Posted: 4/6/2008 3:07:23 AM | 'Love In The Time Of Cholera' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A beautiful beautiful work.
'The Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks. The only book I have ever had to put down because I couldn't bear to read anymore, until the next morning. Stunning.
'On The Beach' by Neville Shute. I read this book while I was trvelling across Australia where the book is mainly set. The saddest book I have ever read and still the only book to make me weep. | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 3:11:17 AM | The cruise of the Condor by Captain W.E. Johns, i read it when i was seven, first proper big book i ever had and as a child it was amazing.
The Fevre Dream by George R.R.Martin, his second book that kept me gripped from beginning to end.
When you walk through the storm by Anne Williams, a womans fight to gain justice for the death of her son at the Hillsborough disaster, a true story which still has no end to this day. Justice for the 96......... | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 3:38:14 AM | Of Human Bondage by W S Maugham. Unfortunately many people take the title the wrong way (or so I find as there is no sex whatsoever in it!)
I'd recommend it to anyone here, focuses on relationships and Bondage in the title refers to how you can tie yourself to the wrong person. | |
