Beware Of God
1.  Beware Of God by Shalom Auslander
The list author says:

The Little Prince
2.  The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery

The Crazed
3.  The Crazed by Ha Jin
The list author says:

The Kite Runner
4.  The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
The list author says:
  "The popularity of this book made me hesitate in picking it up (the snob inside me). It's a good book though, I have to confess. Sometimes you have to listen to the masses."

Atomised
6.  Atomised by Michel Houellebecq
The list author says:
  "Strange one this. I didn't like either of the main characters but you're not supposed to. A little coarse in places and perhaps slightly too clever for it's own good."

My Legendary Girlfriend
8.  My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
The list author says:
  "I appreciated the Nottingham references in this book (it's my closest city) but the central character was a little grating. So he got dumped - after three years, he should just get over it."
