 | Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Buy new: £5.40 / Used from: £0.01 Hugely original meditation on the validity of religion.
|
 | Black Dogs by Ian McEwan
Buy new: £5.17 / Used from: £0.02 Not as strong as Atonement or Enduring Love. Nevertheless, his ability to conjure an initial scenario which reverberates through the rest of the novel is peerless.
|
 | The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks
Buy new: £6.56 / Used from: £0.01 Superb novel. A watertight exploration of how grief impacts a community, through 4 different narrators, yet is a testament to the ability of the human will to pick up and keep going.

 | Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland
Buy used from: £0.01 My favourite novel. Highly original, funny, challenging, haunting. This book is all of those and more. A contender for the most profound novel ever written.
|
 | The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
Buy used from: £0.01 A big, sprawling mess of a novel, but also totally compelling. A masterful work in language and characterisation.
|
 | A Better Way: Jesus and Old Testament Fulfilment by Simon Austen
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 If you want to understand the relationship of the Old Testament to the New Testament, this is probably your best bet.
