 | The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
Buy new: £6.26 / Used from: £1.65 I have never read anything like this before. Nothing as surreal or unpredictable. Also contains some of the most harrowing writing I've encountered.

 | Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
Buy new: £5.00 / Used from: £1.25 You can't really go wrong with anything by this author, I've just included two of my favourites on this list. The word to best sum up this one is 'beautiful'.
|
 | The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Buy used from: £3.69 Catcher In The Rye for the 90's. 'Nuff said.
|
 | The Metamorphosis (Dover Thrift) by Franz Kafka
Buy new: £1.50 / Used from: £0.01 One of the saddest stories ever, but I find myself going back to it over and over.
|
 | Head On/Repossesed by Julian Cope
Buy used from: £2.82 Makes being in a band sound like the best job ever!
|
 | Of Mice and Men (Steinbeck "Essentials") by John Steinbeck
Buy new: £5.00 / Used from: £0.25 I had to read this for GCSE English, and is the only book I read for schoolwork that I've revisited.
|
 | The Amulet of Samarkand (Amulet Trilogy) by Jonathan Stroud
Buy used from: £0.01 Normally I dislike books of this genre, but I found this one very accessible, thanks largely to the humour in it. Made me laugh out loud on occasions.
|
 | The Coma by Alex Garland
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.01 Underrated. It's very short, but I haven't read another book that evokes the feeling of dreaming so well.
