Literature and the Western World by J B Priestly.
Interesting and concise. Priestly writes as if he is sitting next to you, friendly and informally.

Far from the Madding Crowd. It was the first book foisted on me at school that I actually enjoyed, I couldn't put it down and made me a lifelong Hardy fan. I still don't like reading much though.

I love many books but Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte tops my list. I remember sitting on my mum's lap watching a television adaptation when I was about four - and it frightened me so much it took me until I was 19 to pluck up the courage to read Jane Eyre. It was then I discovered the scary bit wasn't so scary after all. (We should never anticipate what's going on in a child's mind because we never know. The self-assured clever clogs of the adult world only think they do).

Jane Eyre is a book I can pick up and open on any page at any time - and just read - and, in my opinion, it contains the most passionately heartfelt speech in all of English literature. An absolute masterpiece that stands the test of time.

it shows the greatest decade in history, how the will of one great leader dragged the UK from almost becoming a Soviet state, from the "sick man of Europe" to the fittest man in Europe. It show how the cold war was won by two great leaders and enabled by another. The fall of the Berlin wall, we have these three to thank for the many things we take for granted today.

Can I pick a series? If so it's Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City and if not pick any one of those books.

If series are allowed, I'd vote for the Flashman books.

Not my favourite but "Red Notice" by Bill Browder was a real eye opener. I found it very captivating and it helped my understanding of Putin's Russia immeasurably.

I couldn't really choose my 'favourite' book, but this is definitely my favourite series of books.
