Coraline
3.  Coraline by Neil Gaiman

A Thousand Splendid Suns
4.  A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
The list author says:
  "This book is well written and tells an absorbing tale. Yet it didn't grab me as much as the Kite Runner. Perhaps because I never expected to enjoy that book; I knew what to expect this time."

The Comedy Writer
5.  The Comedy Writer by Peter Farrelly
The list author says:
  "I really disliked the main character of this book, enough to nearly put me off reading. There was *something* that kept me going though, something very compelling. All credit for that."

Holes
6.  Holes by Louis Sachar
The list author says:
  "I'm not going to be liked much for this, but I was disappointed by Holes. Probably because I had heard so many great reviews and I was expecting a killer twist. My fault, not the book's."

Brand New Friend
7.  Brand New Friend by Mike Gayle
The list author says:
  "As close as I'll ever get to chick-lit, even though it's written by a guy. I guess I like Mr Gayle as he shows that men can be neurotic , thus proving the trait isn't exclusive to us girls."
£5.99   Used & New from: £0.01

Out of the Ordinary: True Tales of Everyday Craziness
8.  Out of the Ordinary: True Tales of Everyday Craziness by Jon Ronson
The list author says:
  "I love Jon Ronson's columns in the paper and I love these collections. Enough said really, it's a matter of whether his world view corresponds with your own."
£6.39   Used & New from: £0.01

Love, etc
9.  Love, etc by Julian Barnes
The list author says:
  "Read this before 'Talking It Over' and it works okay as a stand-alone. Interesting style and easy to read. A lot darker than you first realise."

Talking It Over (Picador paperback Books)
10.  Talking It Over (Picador paperback Books) by Julian Barnes
The list author says:
  "Rather than viewing this as the 'original novel', I used it to fill in the background to 'Love Etc'. Enjoyable yet an ultimately sad and tragic story."
Used & New from: £0.01
