Yep. Total rip off from the other thread but I need some suggestions.

Mine are Captain Correllis Mandoline (I was gutted at how awful the film was) and On Green Dolphin Street (oh the end!).

Lightning by Dean Koontz. I first read it in my teens and it's still my favourite. Not high brow, I know, but I love it.

Favorite classics: "Great Expectations" and "Huckleberry Finn"

More recent: "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving and "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut

Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Incredible book. Almost everyone I know who has read it has loved it and been completely gripped by it. Even the 2 or 3 people who would say they didn't actually enjoy it as such, has said that they couldn't put it down while reading it.

A thousand splendid suns....the tears the many many tears....ditto captain Corelli. Fav classic Pride and prejudice. Most read book - Bridget jones’ splendid diary (used to read the column every Tuesday in the independent, and was so excited when the book came out. I loved her.

Favourite classic, Great Expectations.

A more recent favourite is Liar Moon by Ben Pastor, which helped me heal after a period of great personal difficulty.
