I've been tagged about my ten fave books. Well I haven't, the dog has. But he doesn't read. So I'm posting.
In no particular order....
Land Rover Series III Parts Catalogue and Repair Operation Manual. Two separate books but they both save me a sh!tload of money. And it means I can sit outside, head in book, issuing instructions.
Mostly these days when I pick up something it's probably a superb second-hand three-volume set of Somerset Maugham short stories that I bought a few years ago in Malaga.
Anything (apart from Brighton Rock) by Graham Greene, especially Our Man In Havana
The Idiot - Dostoevsky
The Scarlet and the Black - Stendahl
Midnight's Children - Rushdie
Love in the time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez - and his other books
Most stuff by Conrad, especially Nostromo
And that leaves me two more to think about as I go off to bed.
If anyone wants to play tag - you can do your ten favourite books - or a quickie - what are you reading now?
Tomorrow is the Story of the Bedford.

The only one of those I've read is one of the Gabriel Garcia Marquez books, and to be honest I did not really get on with it.
But I love that photograph of a well read book - fabulous.
Cheers for the photo comment. The books are lovely. To read and to look at.
So come on where are your top books? I've still got two to add anyway.
Thinks. Hard.

I loved reading Midnights children
