Well its only my opinion, but then again this is my website ;)

So when I was young:

Famous 5 - Enid Blyton

Doctor Who - I used to lose myself in many a Dr adventure!

But seriously now..

Perfume - Patrik Suskind, what a great story to delve into, this kept me gripped ( except for the solitude bit), a must read.

What is the What - Dave Eccers. This will make you think, weep and then think again.

To Kill a Mocking Bird - Harper Lee. I read this firts time at school, then again in my 20's then again in my 30s - just gets better. And one of the few with a film adaptation to match

The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco- wow, just open your mind and be transported back hundreds of years. You can taste the atmosphere.My old flat mate in Barcelona,put me onto Eco, she used to work for him- I wasn't disappointed.

The Alan Clark Diaries - What a man, a whole barrel of contradictions, all in the backdrop of great political intrigue.

Berlin and Stalingrad - Antony Beevor - The cruelty of war put so intensly I couln't put them down, sided didn't matter this is pittiful.

 

I'll come back to this
