Fab! two intertwined stories that pull you in. Smooth and liltingly written but with immediate & insightful characters. Gentle and full of poignant love, sad and happy. A great read.

Could not stop turning the pages. Sad very sexy and made me cry in a good way. Hated when it finished

Warm sad and funny. Great if you want a real insight into the struggles of addiction in a well-written positive ending setting
BirdsongBirdsong by Sebastian Faulks
Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £0.01
everyone has read this haven't they?! If you havent then you must! Contains the most moving erotic but non graphic description of lovemaking ever.
The Great Gatsby (Penguin Popular Classics)The Great Gatsby (Penguin Popular Classics) by F Scott Fitzgerald
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01
Just an amazing story and very pertinent to these credit crunch times. Gatsby's empire was "founded on a fairy's wing" much like banking of today methinks.

Anothe f scott fitzgerald. sorry. but these are compelling, immediate stories despite their age. Contains the Benjamin button story but Bernice bobs her hair is the best.
Peony in LovePeony in Love by Lisa See
Buy new: £5.95 / Used from: £0.01
Takes a little to get started but stick with it! Hugely moving and informative about chinese culture and traditions. Sounds dry but there is a strong story and great female strength in all the details
The ProphetThe Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
Buy new: £3.27 / Used from: £0.01
inspirational. Beautiful poetry and lots to think about in a gentle way - not too heavy for a beach read! You will feel like you have given yourself a gift by reading it!
Rover Saves ChristmasRover Saves Christmas by Roddy Doyle
Buy new: £3.49 / Used from: £0.01
Just brilliant! My 14 & 13 yr old sons still insist on reading this as a family tradition at Xmas even in our xbox emprisoned home. It is funny!
EnigmaEnigma by Robert Harris
Buy used from: £0.01
A page turner with a clever fast paced story line that teaches you stuff about code breaking etc. Pitched as a blokes book but that is daft - it is just a great story.
The GhostThe Ghost by Robert Harris
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.01
Another good story . Lock the door and plan to come out in a day - you wont put this down. Great for the cynical lot who feel let down by Blair. Is this really fiction?!
