Some of my favourite books. Enjoy!
Beautifully written novel about an Irish family and the aftermath of a shocking secret.
Funny and profound look at life from the perspective of death.
Facinating real stories about what can happen when the brain goes awry.
Not your average war story from a talented writer.
Heartbreaking stories of Australian boys who joined up in WWI.
Read this as a girl and forgot the title but never the story. Took me decades to find it again.
Sylvia Plath pulls no punches in this tale of mental illness.
Winton has the ability to bring any and every character to life. A collection of short, connected stories.
The ultimate adventure/endurance/leadership story. And brilliant photos.
The Endurance story from the man himself; Ernest Shackleton. A shame we don't write like this anymore.
If you've never read or seen this novel, it's a must. Brilliant.
A lovely original concept. My own prescription cat who chose me is bound to show up on this site somewhere!
Another talented writer. Historical fiction that brings Thomas Cromwell and the court of Henry VIII to vivid life.
For anyone curious about the likelihood of humans descending to savagery in trying circumstances!
Something light and funny.
If you've ever wanted to be inspired to run, this is your book!
