blogs.guardian.co.uk — my top 5:To kill a mocking bird (who doesn't love atticus?) The Godfather(can read it over and over again-why did sonny have to die?),The Hobbit (loved it even as a 19 yr old), Penny Vincenzi's No Angel trilogy (excellent story full of twists and turns) and Lorenzo carcaterra's Sleepers (heart-breakingly sad) Anybody else a fan of the above?!
