    Default Favourite books!!

    HEY I need some recommendations 'cos I've only got one unread book on my shelf

    so my favourite books are Room by Emma Donoghue, recently also loved The Circle by Dave Eggers

    I'm also obsessed with basically all YA fiction, Everything Everything was great, Beautiful Broken Things etc

    So has anyone got their fav books which I'd like to read maybe?

    Tagging @wixard; to read it cos she seems to comment on my book choices on Twitter back in the day when I tweeted more than just complaining about trains (H)

    I'm sat next to my bookshelf so I'm just gonna list the ones I've read and enjoyed.

    Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist which is also a fantastic film
    Grow Up
    Hush Hush series
    Dorothy Must Die (haven't finished it yet but really enjoying it so far, it's the same world as Wizard of Oz)
    Eleanor & Park
    Bleed
    Blue is for Nightmare series
    Peeps & The Last Days
    The Perks of Being a Wallflower

    John Greens books are also really good but I imagine you've read them/heard about them.

    If you like YA then you need to get the Animorphs series and Everworld series, both by KA Applegate +*+*+*+
    For something brilliant in general Flowers For Algernon it will make you cry and Brave New World is also perfect

    I thought perks was alright but nothing amazing. I've read TFIOS and something else but I can't remember what..

    I adore Haruki Murakami and have read the majority of his work. He's masterful — he'll win the Nobel Prize one day. My favourite novel of his is Norwegian Wood, but everything I've read thus far has been remarkable and poignant in its own distinct way. His work generally includes elements of magical realism, but he has also put out some more straightforwardly realist fiction, with themes of sexuality, romance and loneliness.

    His short work is probably the most accessible, with his story On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning likely the most straightforward and unfiltered. It gives a good glimpse into his style of prose without the inclusion of some of his heavier themes and more illustrative writing. The Second Bakery Attack is also very good and displays his addictive wit, and I really love The Wind-Up Bird and Tuesday's Women, which formed the basis for one of his novels. I'm currently reading his new collection, Men Without Women. He always captures emotion with such clarity and has the tremendous ability to make the mundane seem almost ethereal. He writes often of melancholy, but it's never straightforwardly depressing or sad, but rather enlightening and terrifically layered.

    Besides Murakami, I like Kenji Miyazawa's Night on the Galactic Railroad, Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Shusaku Endo's novels Silence and The Samurai, Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. I also like to read autobiographies occasionally. The latest was Brian Blessed's Absolute Pandemonium.

    Two years ago, I began noting my favourite quotations whenever I read through a new book. I now have quite the collection. It's really brilliant how some finely assembled words can conjure such terrific emotion and imagery. You can't beat a good book.

    OMG no I completely forgot there were more!!! I love YA books cos they're really easy to follow. I only read for about ~30m each day on the train so need something I can dip into easier.

    The perspective, from the kid, with such unknowns and confusions, is just such a literary masterpiece! Read it about 5 times now!
