6.  If On A Winter's Night A Traveller (Vintage classics) by Italo Calvino

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Classics)
7.  The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Classics) by Oscar Wilde

  "Perhaps the most perfect novel written. It is conjured with pure mystery - all smoke and mirror; opium dens and crooked London alleys. Appropriately, I finished reading this on a stormy Christmas Eve."

Despair (Penguin Modern Classics)
9.  Despair (Penguin Modern Classics) by Vladimir Nabokov

  "It's official! Reading Nabokov adds ten years onto your life! It was between this and 'Laughter in the Dark'. In both the protagonist is tortured to the brink of madness. Perhaps this goes further..."

The Vatican Cellars (Twentieth Century Classics)
11.  The Vatican Cellars (Twentieth Century Classics) by Andre Gide

Dan Yack (Peter Owen Modern Classic)
12.  Dan Yack (Peter Owen Modern Classic) by Blaise Cendrars

Le Grand Meaulnes (Penguin Modern Classics)
13.  Le Grand Meaulnes (Penguin Modern Classics) by Henri Alain-Fournier

Diary of a Madman (Classics)
15.  Diary of a Madman (Classics) by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol
