Not just a story of one of the most important 'battles' of WWII, but also a moving story of human life and relationships.
Animal Farm (play)Animal Farm (play) by George Orwell

A crushing indictment of Communism in a great read (what more do you want?) Set aside an afternoon in the garden for this one!

A hilarious read, one of the books that you have to read.
The King of TortsThe King of Torts by John Grisham

The first Grisham I read, a tremendous book and plot (shame about the ending).
Swallows and AmazonsSwallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £1.63
A true classic, but for the fact I read it over ten years ago it may have been in the top three. Legendary.
Black SundayBlack Sunday by Thomas Harris

Not as famous as Harris' Hannibal series, but a cracking read.
Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus: Or, the Modern Prometheus (Penguin Popular Classics)Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus: Or, the Modern Prometheus (Penguin Popular Classics) by Mary Shelley
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01
It seems to have become stereo-typed by poor movie versions, but a really good read and slightly whacky even.
Much Ado About Nothing (The new Penguin Shakespeare)Much Ado About Nothing (The new Penguin Shakespeare) by William Shakespeare
Buy used from: £0.01
Every list needs a Shakepeare. This is one of mine - a great plot and even as a play, a good read.
The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Man Against the SeaThe Perfect Storm: A True Story of Man Against the Sea by Sebastian Junger
Buy used from: £0.01
Don't just buy this because you enjoyed the film. A myriad of nautical terms will turn you off if you aren't interested in the technical aspects of the events.
Deep BlackDeep Black by Andy McNab

Some may say back on form... What! He was never off form!
Hamlet (New Penguin Shakespeare)Hamlet (New Penguin Shakespeare) by William Shakespeare

Hamlet is a classical tragedy. Shakespeare's best play - not necessarily the best read - two slightly different things!
