More Top Tens.

[layne67]

Interesting discussion here at aprilkat's journal on the Top Ten of our favourite movies. Now I know what my LJ-friends like to watch!

What about books? What are your favourite ten books ( or more )? Books that you'll always remember and some you can even quote the lines by heart.

Here are mine :

LotR by JRR Tolkien.
Katya by Trevanian. A psychiatric thriller with a very gothic feel.
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
Dead Famous by Ben Elton. A mix of murder thriller and comedy. I stayed up all night reading it. A must-read for fans of reality TV shows.
As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann. I'm still lugging the book around with me, reading certain parts from time to time.
All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. An all-time favourite of mine. Since knowing James, Tristan and Siegfried, I've never look at vets the same way again.
Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel. I love the heroine so much so that Ayla was one of the names short-listed if my baby were to be a girl.
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. A whodunit classic.
Coastliners by Joanne Harris. Romance and intrigue at a small French village. From the same author who wrote 'Chocolat'.
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and its sequel Rebecca's Tale by Sally Beaumann.
Salem's Lot by Stephen King.
Flowers in the Attic by Virginia C. Andrews.
Post Mortem by Patricia Cornwell.
Harry Porter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rawling. I think that's her best and I also think the movie adaptation is the best of the four.

So, what are yours?

I haven't read Frankenstein too, but I can recommend Dracula, although it is a very strange book, written only in the form of letters between the various characters.

And Heatchcliff is a fantastic hero!
