Changed my life. Love to read this when i'm feeling down and need cheering up.
LullabyLullaby by Chuck Palahniuk
Buy new: £2.97 / Used from: £1.83
Chuck writes so well. And this is probably his best. (but check out Fight Club, for a bit of a laugh!)
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (International Writers)Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (International Writers) by Patrick Suskind
Buy new: £2.97 / Used from: £0.01
You must read this. Dark, sharp, edgy and terribly gothic, but beautiful all at the same time.
How the Dead LiveHow the Dead Live by Will Self
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.01
Get a new perspective on death. Self is an artist with words.
Happiness TMHappiness TM by Will Ferguson
Buy used from: £0.01
Totally readable and fantastic idea. What would happen if a "Self help" book actually worked?
The Doors of Perception (Flamingo Modern Classics)The Doors of Perception (Flamingo Modern Classics) by Aldous Huxley
Buy used from: £1.52
He takes drugs and writes about what happens to him in the 1950s. What more could you want?!
A Clockwork Orange (Penguin Modern Classics)A Clockwork Orange (Penguin Modern Classics) by Anthony Burgess
Buy new: £2.89 / Used from: £2.58
If you've seen the film and haven't read this you've missed out. Horrible read, for all the right reasons. (slightly different ending to the film - better ending too!)
1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
Buy new: £3.79 / Used from: £3.63
A classic and a must read.
Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of PhilosophySophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy by Jostein Gaarder
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
This falls into its own league really. An intellectual, yet accessable run-down of the major philosophical thinkers and ideas in the history of mankind. Read it slowly and think!!
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-timeThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon
Buy used from: £0.85
Oh, so good! Very readable and full of quirky quotes.
Dorian: An ImitationDorian: An Imitation by Will Self
Buy new: £3.75 / Used from: £3.73
Ultimate in the retelling of Oscar Wildes story. Wacky and intelligent.
TrainspottingTrainspotting by Irvine Welsh

Don't be put of by the dialect. Great read.
