One of my most favourite people in the entire world and most likely a future Prime Minister, Lizzie is next up... Hopefully the first of many, she presents a surprisingly American-leaning first list, but with some absolutely fascinating works. Wonderful contributions!
Keep ploughing through it, it's a slow burner. It's really amazing actually. Amazing.
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Group by Mary MaCarthy
The End Of the Affair by Graham Greene
'The End of the Affair' is my favourite ever. It's genuinely painful.
One Day by David Nicholls
About edinburgh students! Oh also don't be deceived by the marketing. It is NOT a rom com!
Atonement by Ian McEwan
A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
If you haven't read 'To Kill A Mockingbird' you really must. It generally should be compulsory reading for humans. Also, iIt's good for daddy-worshippers! It has THE iconic father of literature. It is the book I wish I'd never read so I could read it for the first time. It's not my favourite ever but it is just so unforgettable. Kids should read it. Essential lessons. And it has my favourite line from literature! [Note: She wouldn't say what it was. Another incentive to read it...]
