 | The World and Other Places by Jeanette Winterson
Buy new: £5.23 / Used from: £0.01 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: £4.97 / Used from: £1.88 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: £2.00 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: £5.12 / 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: £5.05 / Used from: £2.35 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: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 If Jane Austen had known about sex and drugs, this is what she'd have written.
|
 | Whit by Iain Banks
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.01 An entrancing mystery from the quintessential Scots storyteller.
|
 | Momo (Puffin Books) by Ende Michael
Buy new: £4.72 / Used from: £1.81 Far too creepy to be a children's book. A disturbing allegory of our time, from a writer with a truly mad imagination.

Listmania!
