A Listmania! list by Joanna "ptasia" (Warsaw, Poland)
 
The White Hotel
1.  The White Hotel by D M Thomas
The list author says:
  "Haunting and truly impressive. Read it during a few hot, stuffy summer nights in London - couldn't put it down. It's bound to make an impression, either positive or negative."
£6.89   Used & New from: £0.01
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

The Handmaid's Tale (Contemporary Classics)
2.  The Handmaid's Tale (Contemporary Classics) by Margaret Atwood
The list author says:
  "Shocking, like a blow in the head (especially for women, I suppose, but it's not a 'girl's read', far from it, as bordering on political fiction). V. good both from the view of content and narration."

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (191 customer reviews)

The Magus
3.  The Magus by John Fowles

T.S.Eliot: "Waste Land" (Icon Reader's Guides to Essential Criticism)
5.  T.S.Eliot: "Waste Land" (Icon Reader's Guides to Essential Criticism) by Nick Selby
