Books!
I've always been a bit of a bookworm - but get the feeling that I might not have read as many of these as I ought to have read....
(bold = read)
1984, George Orwell - is on my list of things I ought to read
The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
Animal Farm, George Orwell - in year ten at school. I hated it.
Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
Anne Of Green Gables, LM Montgomery
Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer
The BFG, Roald Dahl Wonderful story.
Birdsong, Sebastian Faulks
Black Beauty, Anna Sewell But years ago - feel like rereading it now.
Bleak House, Charles Dickens
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh - also on my list of things to read - mainly so that I can understand exactly what people mean when they refer to Oxford as Brideshead Revisited.
Bridget Jones's Diary, Helen Fielding - was OK.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Louis de Bernieres
Catch 22, Joseph Heller - was hard going, but I persevered with it, and am glad I did.
The Catcher In The Rye, JD Salinger - err, I'm not sure - I've a feeling I started to read this at the same time as I read Catch 22 but am not sure.
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl
A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
The Clan Of The Cave Bear, Jean M Auel
Cold Comfort Farm, Stella Gibbons
The Colour Of Magic, Terry Pratchett
The Count Of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
Crime And Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky - think I've got this one at home, waiting to be read.
David Copperfield, Charles Dickens
Double Act, Jacqueline Wilson - think my sister's read that one.

The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, CS Lewis Loved it.
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
Lord Of The Flies, William Golding - started to read this in hospital when I was very bored - it was for GCSE coursework, and disliked it as soon as I picked it up - it's very rare for me to do that.
The Lord Of The Rings, JRR Tolkien - am currently in the middle of this - there's a little too much description - I think this is one of the books that I'll be able to read five or six times and still find new bits.
