 | His Dark Materials Gift Set: "Northern Lights", "The Subtle Knife", "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman

|
 | The Go-between (Penguin Modern Classics) by L.P. Hartley

 | Dune by Frank Herbert
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 This book is stunning in every way (and i don't even like sci-fi that much). Clare hated it, but often Clare doesn;t know what she;s talking about.

 | Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

 | The Unkindest Cut: How a Hatchet Man Critic Made His Own 7, 000 Dollar Movie and Put it All on His Credit Card by Joe Queenan
Buy used from: £0.01 Worth it for his '12 steps to death' script alone. How not to make movies on a Robert Rodriguez budget. Bitter, sardonic, dry, and very, very, very funny indeed.
|
 | Moby Dick: Or, the Whale (Penguin Popular Classics) by Herman Melville
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01 Not just a timeless story, but an exploration of philosophy, humanity, whaling techniques and sea-doggery. Arrrrr.
