I originally wrote my ten out on the spur of the moment but have given it a little more thought and can't believe I omitted two of my all time favourites and books that I think of often;

Shogun
Tai pan
Clavell is an amazing story teller

Agreed. Both brilliantly written....but bloody long.

[lazza]

The Passion - Jeanette Winterson - uplifting, thought-provoking and depressing all at the same time!
Midwitch Cuckoos - John Wyndham - his best novel by a mile
On the Beach - Nevil Shute - tragic "waiting to die" novel set in post-apocalyptic Australia
Wild Swans - Jung Chang - interesting to read how revolution shaped the last century of life in China
The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexander Dumas - revenge is a dish best served cold!
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - CS Lewis - the first book I read that made me lose myself completely in the story
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams - the original sci-fi/comedy cross-over, and never bettered
The Guns of Navarone - Alistair McClean - Boy's own war story told at a frenetic pace!
Child 44 - Tom Rob Smith - chilling fictional portrayal of a serial-killer, based on the real story of the Butcher of Rostov
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde - an amazing portrayal of a man's descent into hedonistic immorality
