Yes, indeed Em, great stuff. It’s a book I can pick up and open at any page – and just read.

Similarly with Jane Eyre. No sex – but what passion!

Lord of The Rings, i never tire of the entire saga.
The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
and
The Lollipop Shoes by Joanne Harris
(although I'll probably change my mind when I see other people's suggestions)
Herman Hesse, The Glass Bead Game, is stunning, particularly for the shock of the ending.

Rediscovering Hemingway and the delicousness of his descriptive prose......
Oh, I forgot LOTR! Can I change my mind? I knew this would happen....
Female - Vera Brittan, Testament of Youth.
Question Author
Some great answers, but must admit, not heard of all of those books!
Yes Kiki, you can change your mind.
Anyone like Martina Cole books ?
Question Author
DT - I love books wth shock endings or endings with a good twist.
Mine's The Magician by Raymond E Fiest , read it over again every few years too.
Shadow the sheepdog by Enid Blyton. It always gets me just there....
The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Only read on holiday these days, usually chiclit rubbish. Did read the Forgotten Garden about 2 years ago.
Liked Martina Cole's first 2 books, not so keen on the ones that followed.
My favourite book is the first 'grown-up' one I was allowed to read....Jane Eyre.
Question Author
Hi craft - waiting for you to come on. I like all her books and am looking forward to her latest out in the summer in paperback.
you have never heard of The Lord of The Rings, really?
Question Author
Jane Eyre - classic.
I'm waiting for the new Peter James book due out in June I think.............
Question Author
Yes, I've heard of Lord of the Rings em, I meant I'd not heard of all the books mentoned. Not read it though.
Question Author
Yes, Peter James, now there's an author !
try it some day, weeks, months, take your time as well, it's a long saga, but well worth the effort.
I love his Roy Grace series................I have the next one on pre-order from Amazon.
