Fiction

It probably wouldn't be today, but at the time I read it (1965), Tolkien's Lord of The Rings trilogy - I read late into the night on several occasions.

Adams' Watership Down probably a close second.


Non-Fiction

The Klemperer Diaries

[Eleena]

Canary, the diaries are something that would interest me, thanks.

[woofgang]

read it Dave, you will read it again and again.

[zebo]

Recently reread Katherine, Anya Seton. Still makes me emotional at the end, even though it must be 55 years since I first read it. I used to read a lot of her stuff.

The Martian by Andy Weir

[jennyjoan]

Katie Mulholland by Catherine Cookson

[margarettom]

I used to read Anya Seaton zebo and Norah Lofts. I still read old books when I can. A J Cronin and Howard Spring were good too. Most unputdownable book difficult to choose, there's been so many. Probably Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, closely followed by Gone with the Wind.

Stick With It

Choo Ying Gum

[Ken4155]

All 7 of Douglas Lindsay's Barney Thompson books. Ridiculously funny, fast paced and very well written.

[spathiphyllum]

Lord of the flies

[ichkeria]

The only book I’ve read cover to cover in one go was Ten Little N*****s by Agatha Christie, tho what Tilly said at 20.03 probably applied then.

[Eleena]

There can't be a 'most' can there ;0)
Also on audible .. 'How to be a tudor' ... Ruth Goodman ... and 'The diary of Samuel Pepys .. Pepys after the fire' .. Samuel Pepys.

Has anyone read Milkman by Anna Burns yet?
If so, what did you think?
