With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

A romp through the wild adventurous life of Orlando, a nobleman, who mysteriously never ages, and even changes sex part of the way though the book. It's the sort of book you can read again and again and always find something new. Loved the scene of the party on the frozen Thames with the Russian princess. The book is made even more special by the fact that it is a tribute to Virginia Woolf's great friend and lover Vita Sackville-West. If only someone would write me a love letter this beautiful!
