All excellent

Also:

The Woman in Black by Susan Hill - By far the scariest and most gripping book I've ever read, I'd totally reccomend it but not at night!

The Beach by Alex Garland - If you've seen the film, read the book. If you've done neither, do both.

The History of Lucy's Love Life in 10 and a Half Chapters by Deborah Wright - This is such a girly book but it's absolutely mental and so uplifting.

Anything by Louise Rennison because I'm a teenage girl.

Dead Famous by Ben Elton - A modern twist on the classic "whodunnit" plot, had me guessing to the very end. I'm going to start reading this again tonight in fact!

There's so many more but my mind's gone blank.

Wuthering heights ~ Emily Bronte for some romance.
Riders ~ Jilly Cooper for some sex.
The Goddess in the Gospels ~ Margaret Starbird for some spiritual enhancement.
The Tiffany Aching series: The wee free men, A hatful of sky, The wintersmith
~ Terry Pratchett
The complete chronicles of Narnia ~ Cs Lewis - They saved my life

Oh oh oh! I probably should have wrote about In Cold Blood-Capote here instead of that longish description in the 50 book challenge, but anyway this has to go somewhere at the top.

I don't know what it is but with books like these, there is something special and significant; every sentence has been planned and is in total control of by the author. It's just a pleasure to read desriptions about the most commonplace thing. Although he has a great vocabulary he never tends to overwrite, which I don't like it comes across as someone trying to write a great novel than someone just telling a story and actually doing it.

The structure and style are notable, but i feel like i am starting to write a book report....in conclusion 'a great read'
