Top Ten Must Have Books

Okay, no list is going to be perfect. I suspect some titles will drop out off any list in one year and come back on it again the next year etc but here is my list of Top Ten Must Have Books.

1. The Lord of the Rings

2. Pride and Prejudice

3. Murder on the Orient Express

4. Raising Steam (Terry Pratchett)

5. The Code of the Woosters

6. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

7. The Daughter of Time (Josephine Tey)

8. P.G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters. (Fabulous book and I love reading books of letters).

9. The History of Britain (Three volume set based on the TV series presented by Simon Schama some time ago but oh so worth reading).

10. A Christmas Carol
Which books would be on your list?

5 6 7 Several of Maeve Binchy's

Allison Symes Great choices, Gill. At least with lists like this you can change your mind. I would happily have the entire back catalogues of P.G. Wodehouse and Terry Pratchett on a list but alas for both knighted gentlemen, their output went well beyond ten!
