 | The Lord of the Rings - illustrated hardback by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy used from: £40.00 The greastest epic fantasy book ever? I've never read another that even comes close to the scale of this
|
 | Weaveworld by Clive Barker
Buy new: £5.94 / Used from: £1.50 His greatest work. When you finish it you will want to start it all over again, and best of all, you can! This book goes beyond anything else I have read.
|
 | The Pilgrim's Progress (Oxford World's Classics) by John Bunyan
Buy used from: £0.16 A truly uplifting book and still a fantastic moralistic story, even thought its over 300 years old!!
|
 | The Last Battle (Chronicles of Narnia) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £0.01 I'd love to include them all, but that would be cheating. I didn't like this the first time i read it, but after re-reading the series this is by far the best.
|
 | I Am Legend (S.F. Masterworks) by Richard Matheson
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £0.87 This still remains the only book that has given me nightmares (not that i was scared or anything..... i mean.... could happen to anybody....blah...) Beats Buffy hands down.
|
 | The Silver Chair (Chronicles of Narnia) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.01 This was my favourite in the series, until i re-read The last Battle. This has a proper quest adventure that has rarely been beaten without being overly complex.
|
 | The Hobbit - illustrated hardback by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy new: £15.50 / Used from: £10.50 Lacks the depth of LOTR but is a fantastic introduction for anybody who has yet to read any Tolkien (they shouldn't, but they do exist.....)
|
 | Encyclopaedia of Fantasy by John Clute
Buy used from: £6.87 A wonderful work. Unbeatable for referencing a particular subject or for just leafing through and finding as yet undiscovered gems. I've yet to hear of anyone finding a mistake in this book.
|
 | Excalibur: A Novel of Arthur (A Novel of Arthur: The Warlord Chronicles) by Bernard Cornwell
Buy new: £4.50 / Used from: £0.01 Better than any of the sharpe series. This is the third in the trilogy and the final battle will blow you away.
|
 | The Darwin Awards: The Official Darwin Awards: 180 Bizarre True Stories of How Dumb Humans Have Met Their Maker by Wendy Northcutt
Buy new: £5.46 / Used from: £0.01 Because sometimes you want a lighthearted read. Makes you laugh, and glad to be born with a degree of intelligence.

Listmania!
