 | The World and Other Places by Jeanette Winterson
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.12 A collection of the most spellbinding short stories ever. I wish I could write like this!
|
 | Further Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01 Part soap opera, part social chronicle, part un-put-downably frantic thriller. All of Maupin's works are good but this surpasses the lot.
|
 | Waterloo Sunset by Ray Davies
Buy used from: £0.01 Here's a thing. Short stories based around obscure Kinks lyrics. The bizarre thing is, it's absolutely gripping. In places, terrifying!
|
 | Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder
Buy new: £5.13 / Used from: £0.01 An astonishing fairytale for the generation that doesn't do fairytales any more. And a bit of an exploration of the meaning of life too.
|
 | Mean Time by Carol Ann Duffy
Buy new: £5.87 / Used from: £3.05 My favourite contemporary poet, by a mile. An incredible teller of stories who says things in a way nobody else ever seems to.
|
 | I Capture the Castle (Vintage Classics) by Dodie Smith
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £0.09 If Jane Austen had known about sex and drugs, this is what she'd have written.
|
 | Whit by Iain Banks
Buy new: £6.97 / Used from: £0.01 An entrancing mystery from the quintessential Scots storyteller.
|
 | Momo (Puffin Books) by Ende Michael
Buy new: £4.73 / Used from: £2.32 Far too creepy to be a children's book. A disturbing allegory of our time, from a writer with a truly mad imagination.

Listmania!
