|
 | Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.01 Life of Pi - Would have enjoyed it more if the ending wasn't trying to push the author's religious views - 8/10

 | 13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time by Michael Brooks
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £5.46 13 Things That Don't Make Sense - Some interesting subjects but also some extremely tedious chapters - 6/10
|
 | Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman
Buy new: £6.11 / Used from: £3.83 Sum: 40 Tales From the Afterlives - Read it in a day. Good concept and an easy read, maybe should have stuck to fewer ideas because some are rubbish (although quick to read) - 6/10
|
 | Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01 Heart of Darkness - Fantastic. Love 'Apocalypse Now' but didn't know it was based on this until midway through. Excellent short(ish) story - 9/10
|
 | Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Buy new: £10.88 / Used from: £0.01 Never Let Me Go - Didn't grab my attention in the first couple of chapters, next few were interesting then it lacked an exciting ending - 6/10

 | The Odyssey (Penguin Classics) by Homer

 | Occupied City (Tokyo Trilogy 2) by David Peace
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £2.89 Occupied City - Should have only published half the chapters. Another good (fact & fiction) story and concept but extremely tough to keep reading at times - 4/10

 | The Death of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave
Buy new: £6.80 / Used from: £6.45 The Death of Bunny Munro - Excellent! Probably the fastest book I've ever read. Not as foul as early reviews suggested but not for the easily offended - 8/10
|
 | Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Dover Thrift) by Edwin Abbott
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01 Flatland - My major gripe with this book is that it took until page 57 (of 82) for the characters to realise that flatlanders are actually living in a 3D environment. Better second half. - 5/10
|
 | The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Buy new: £2.99 / Used from: £2.50 The Road - A quick & easy read despite the missing grammar. Slow story, little has any background and the journey isn't exactly exciting but somehow it's still quite good - 7/10

Buy used from: £0.01 Killer Cults - *Currently reading
|
 | Empire of the Sun (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) by J.G. Ballard
Buy new: £4.96 / Used from: £1.09 Empire of the Sun - I'm not much of a war man, well, at least I didn't think I was. Flew through this book; extremely good read. A situation I hope to never experience - 8/10
