Not having too much luck

Agree with LOTS of these
Ben Elton - yes yes yes the man is a genius :-)
The Red tent
We need to talk about Kevin
Monster Love (disturbing but compelling)
Mourning Ruby

What Was Lost- Catherine O'Flynn
Secret- Phillipe Grimbert
This Thing of Darkness- Harry Thompson, but you will have to take breaks as it is about 600 pages!
Time Travellers Wife
American Gods- Neil Gaiman

Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie
Anything by Terry Pratchet
Bleak House
Villette - Charlotte Bronte

I could go on but TBH my memory is failing me...

To kill a mockingbird
Handmaids tale
Ninteen eighty four

Just read The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing, took it everywhere with me, read it on the loo, while cooking .. it is also very short so easy to read in one sitting.

Woman of the Edge of TIme by Madge Piercey. One of my very favourite books

What you looking for Caykon? I've got a few books kicking around at the moment that I could send for postage.

I've just read Margaret Attwood, Alias Grace which was very good; Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell was a bit strange, but ultimately satisfying and definitely one of my unputdownable books (and you can tell from this sentence that I'm proper gifted in English, like!). The Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks, Christopher Brookmyre was fantastic. I read it in a day. Loved it, loved it, loved it. I liked the Time Travellers wife too (but don't have it any more). Anything by Armistead Maupin too. Oh...and junk book wise, I LURVE Kelley Armstrong's werefolf/witch books. They're like chocolate...smooth and comforting and one never seems enough really.

Love books, love life
