Pride and Prejudice:
This is the nearest and dearest to me. I love this book with all my heart and plan on reading it once a year for the rest of my life. Pretty much anything by Jane is a must read; if you love one book you’ll love them all.

Slaughterhouse Five:
Surprisingly good. This isn’t my usually taste but it was a great read, and definitely different.

Steinbeck:
I’m not naming a specific book because I have an ongoing love affair with him. He’s written several books I love, and I guess at a push I would have to say his short story The Red Pony is my favourite, however he’s written so many others that are damn well worth reading: The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden, Of Mice and Men, and especially Cannery Row. There’s just something about him…

Dostoevsky:
Even though I find his work a bit of a drag sometimes, he’s bloody brilliant. I’d say Brothers Karamazov is the best place to start, you’ll see what I mean.

Virginia Woolf:
Again, I can’t limit this to just one book, but at a push I’ll ay A Room of One’s Own; she’s an amazing writer, captivating and so clever. The Common Reader is usually looked over, but both volumes are fantastic

I’ll stop there, lol. Happy hunting
