This is probably the single most absorbing story ever written. There's a lot of subtle social comment and reference to the great William Blake...

This may not have acquired the same amount of gushing critical acclaim as 'The Secret History', but it is just as dense, dark and compelling as her debut.

Loosely based on the horrific Columbine massacre of the late 90's, this darkly comic novel explores the effects of media hyperbole, moral panic and fear.

Sometimes difficult to read but always worth it. This is an exploration of the mind of a severely depressed young woman trying to overcome her illness with little success.

One of the most wonderful children's books ever written in my opinion. It's fantastical, dangerous, wild and completely mad.

This record is achingly beautiful in places, insightful in others and always innovative.

Maybe the most complete and accomplished Velvets record. Even though they didn't like it. Made after John Cale's departure.

Stunningly beautiful to watch, and an all round brilliant film.

Alarmingly good. Never mind Keyser Soze, this is Kevin Spacey's best film.

Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of doomed love is fast paced, absorbing and heart breaking. Even Leonardo DiCaprio pulls off a fantastic performance as the tragic hero Romeo.
