Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca is up there, the Harry Potter books too (!) but if I had to pick just one, it would be Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet. I've read it several times, however my current read is the Beastie Boys book. |

I don’t read much fiction these days. But if I had to choose it would be either
The Tooth Fairy by Graham Joyce
Or
The Book of Revelation by Rupert Thomson
Both great novelists and I think their best books

"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari is mine. It’s not exactly easy reading but is a fantastic book. "
Prisoners of Geography is also a very good read and puts some of the worlds problems into perspective |

Its not my favourite but I agree a really great book. It took me quite some time to read it and its got loads of little sticky notes marking pages but well worth the time spent. |

What I read really does depend on my mood on the day.
I’ve just finished the latest Robert Galbraith aka J K Rowling Cormoran Strike book which was good. Last night i started a biography of Marlon Brando.
Sometimes it’s true crime, others history and thrillers. |

 Yeah mine has loads of sticky notes marking pages too. I’m reading a book about Buddhism now because of one of those notes, purely because I’m interested though, I’m not religious at all. |

'Carrie' Stephen King, first book I read in one sitting
'Alien' Alan Dean Foster, read when I was 14 too young to see the film but no age barriers with books 
So many more .... |

"Mines probably Lord of the Rings. Always read again every year."
One of my favourites as well but at the moment I'm reading:
The Book of Joy
Lasting Happiness In a Changing World
By the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu
It is absolutely brilliant and will definitely be going onto my favourites list. |
