100 Great Reads

No classics - though some are certainly heading that way. Not a list of best sellers or airport reads. This is just a list of cracking good reads, mostly fiction, some very new, a few from the mid-20th century, most not much more than 20 years old. A few part of a series - you'll know what they are if you've read some - give yourself a tick if you've read one of the others rather than the one named here. A mixture of nationalities among the authors. Some prize winners. Every one of them still on my bookshelves. I hope you find some favourites among them.
