Ten? Very hard to decide... A selection:


 


Kurt Tucholsky – Castle Gripsholm


Margaret Atwood – The Handmaids Tale


Roddy Doyle – The Barrytown Trilogy


Paul Auster – Moon Palace


Nick Hornby – High fidelity


Erich Kδstner – can’t decide between The Double Lottie and Emil and the detective


John Irving – The world according to Garp


Keri Hulme – The bone people


Donna Tart – The secret story


Barbara Trapido – Brother of the more famous Jack


And, ok, Bob Geldof – Is that it?

1 - Catcher in the Rye - JD Sallinger
2 - In Dubious Battle - John Steinbeck
3 - Savage Night - Jim Thompson
4 - Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven - Sherman Alexie
5 - Our Dumb Century - the Staff of the Onion
6 - Red Harvest - Dashiell Hammett
7 - Ulysses - James Joyce
8 - The Sound and the Fury - Wm. Faulkner
9 - Lost Horizon - James Hilton
10 - Is that It? - Bob Geldof


 


Think I misspelled a few of those!  Sorry - long night!  Only 10!  Too tough!  No room for Lord of the Flies!  And I only got Thompson and Hammett on the list!  No room for Cain, Chandler, Willeford, Ellroy, Woolrich, not to mention other genre faves, like Beaumont, Matheson, Lansdale, etc... whew... all those years working at the bookstore paid off, eh?

It is a lovely book. I'd have been quite happy to have studied it in English. I remember doing To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee and loved it, thankfully. The only books I didn't like which I studied at school were Shakespeare!

I nearly put TKAMB on my list but since I only read it the once and it was around 25 years ago I left it off.
