It is not an up-to-date book,but I strongly recommend you to read "Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens,if you haven't already. |

| Uhm... I really liked Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami (here I go again), if you like surreal and querky books it's perfect. |

If you like crime novels :
'The Power of The Dog' Don Winslow
Had me absolutely gripped all the way through, can't recommend it enough. Crying out for a film adaptation at some point too, although I'd be quite happy just reading the book again |

I will also recommend Lord Of The Flies, just reading it myself, plus there's the film. |

| 'Saturday Night, Sunday Morning' by Alan Sillitoe. You might have seen the film with Albert Finney in. Had to read the book for the Masculinities module at uni and i really enjoyed it. Typical hard-guy/womaniser in the 1950s with lots of humour. |

Oh nooooooo!
I think, if you read it you have to be a woman to get through from front-cover to back-cover. And you have to be...err ...not like me ;)... to love it in the end ;) |
