Anna Karenina (Oprah #5): (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (Oprah's Classics Book Club Selections)
1.  Anna Karenina (Oprah #5): (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (Oprah's Classics Book Club Selections) by Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy
The list author says:
  "Forget that fickle, emotionally frigid, cuckolding witch Anna, and read this instead for the beautiful courtship of Kitty and Levin. This Pevear/Volokhonsky translation is sublime."

Fahrenheit 451 (Flamingo Modern Classics)
2.  Fahrenheit 451 (Flamingo Modern Classics) by Ray Bradbury
The list author says:
  "Like Philip K. Dick, Bradbury's not a particularly elegant writer, but it is the eerily-prescient concepts and ideas that set both apart."
£3.68   Used & New from: £0.40

Johnny Got His Gun
3.  Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo
The list author says:
  "A short, sharp, shock. Harrowing, but stunning. Everyone (mothers of sons particularly) should read this.  Johnny Got His Gun rivals Catch 22 as the greatest anti-war novel ever written."
Used & New from: £1.38

The Final Solution
4.  The Final Solution by Michael Chabon
The list author says:
  "Oy Vay! This Chabon boy's got chutzpah! Here he takes one of literature's iconic characters - Sherlock Holmes - and crafts an elegy of decrepitude and failing powers with heart-rending poignance."
£5.59   Used & New from: £0.01

The Road
5.  The Road by Cormac McCarthy
The list author says:
  "Oh-so-bleak, and yet somehow very, very beautiful. It's an apocalyptic novel, yes, but most of all a love story.  Less than five pages in it becomes clear you are in the hands of a genius."

All the President's Men
6.  All the President's Men by Bob Woodward
The list author says:
  "Exhilarating investigative journalism in which the stakes couldn't be higher. Watch "Woodstein" chase a money trail all the way to the very top, and tighten the noose on Tricky Dicky himself..."
Used & New from: £0.01

Bleak House (Penguin Classics)
11.  Bleak House (Penguin Classics) by Charles Dickens
The list author says:
  "I hesitate to cry this Dickens's finest work, since I've only read four - but surely he can't have written anything greater than this?"

The Snows Of Kilimanjaro And Other Stories
14.  The Snows Of Kilimanjaro And Other Stories by Ernest Hemingway
The list author says:
  "The title story is simply the best short story I have ever read. Utterly mesmerising. Hemingway is the master of the short story form, and can make one page say what takes other writers ten."

The God Delusion
18.  The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
The list author says:
  "Though Dawkins can come across a mite smug, there's no denying the power of his message, nor the empirical weight behind his argument when set against the fairytale flimsiness of his opponents'."

A Prayer For Owen Meany
23.  A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving
The list author says:
  "A real "Love It or Hate It" book - and just to be awkward I neither loved it or hated it. ;-)  It's good, but does take an awful long time to make a point that's not as profound as it thinks it is."

The Tenderness of Wolves
25.  The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney
The list author says:
  "I seldom read brand-new titles, but on some instinct I took a punt on this one and fair enjoyed it. A cracking achievement - especially for an agoraphobic who's never set foot in Canada (its setting)."
£5.59   Used & New from: £0.01
