If it wasn't for Friends I wouldn't have even known this book existed. I laughed, cried and appreciated my mind
American PsychoAmerican Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £6.31
Maybe it's not normal laughing with a murderer but his attitude IS quite funny. Very disturbing
Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino YearsAdrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years by Sue Townsend
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
I've been reading this series since I was about 9 and I LOVE them. Cappuccino years by far my favourite. Adrian is a walking oxymoron

1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
Buy new: £3.94 / Used from: £3.86
Scary. Completely understood the concept of the Big Brother show after reading this. Better than Animal Farm

Hard CashHard Cash by Kate Cann

There's no denying this book DOESN'T push you but who cares? Sometimes you need a break and the Hard Cash trilogy makes you feel good
Macbeth (Penguin Popular Classics)Macbeth (Penguin Popular Classics) by William Shakespeare
Buy new: £1.63 / Used from: £0.01
It's a play but such a great one that it had to be mentioned. SO much better than the most overrated King Lear

I read this after David Copperfield when I was 11 and haven't read it since (17 now) but it's still so memorable

Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £3.50
I love Romeo and Juliet but Blood Wedding is so much better, particularly because it's based on 2 actual cousins who fell in love, ran away and were then killed by the people who brought them up

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Classics)The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Classics) by Oscar Wilde
Buy new: £1.39 / Used from: £1.39
Didn't like this the first time around. Lord Henry spoke crap, Basil seemed like he had no guts, ditto with Sibyl and Dorian looked like a melodramatic and horny teenager. Much better 2nd time :)
