I read a very wide range of books from crap to classics.
My fave books include:
"Shadow of the Wind" Carols Ruiz Safon
"Secret History" Donna Tart
"Noble House" James Clavell
"Atonement" Ian McEwan ("Chesil Beach" OK; "Enduring Love" a bit dark
"Charlotte Gray" Sebastian Faulks (but found Engleby a bit dark)
"Prince of Tides" Pat Conroy
Classics:
anything by DH Lawrence/Thomas Hardy.
Never really got in to Austen or the Brontes
Like Anita Shreve, Anne Tyler, John Grisham, Ben Elton, Tony Parsons, some Nick Hornby. Also loved Bridget Jones and the Shopaholic books. And good old family sagas such as Iris Gower.
So, fairly wide ranging! Any thoughts???
