I don't read a great deal, but I remember The Hobbit being superb. I also really enjoyed A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson. In fact most of Bill Bryson's stuff is excellent.

I've read a lot of excellent books but one that really stands out is The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell especially the chapters about Wigan its self. Yes I do have connections with Wigan, half my family came from there and my girlfriend lives there, hope I don't have to start ducking hahaha. Anybody who is interested in Social History this is a brilliant read.

Can't believe no-one has mentioned 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Harper Lee. Which incidentally is also a classic film.
Absolutely anything by Dickens, Thomas Hardy, PG Wodehouse (great fun) Scott Fitzgerald...... s..t there's too many. Then again thats the beauty of reading over any other medium - your own imagination
