I'll try to make a comic about them when I get a spare moment.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ci>The Day of the Jackal\u003C/i> by John le Carré\\r\n\u003Ci>The Time Traveller's Wife\u003C/i> by Audrey Niffenegger\\r\n\u003Ci>The Eyre Affair\u003C/i> by Jasper Fforde\\r\n\u003Ci>Watership Down\u003C/i> by Richard Adams\\r\n\u003Ci>Gemma Bovary\u003C/i> by Posy Simmonds\\r\n\u003Ci>Ender's Game\u003C/i> by Orson Scott Card\\r\n\u003Ci>Pride and Prejudice\u003C/i> by Jane Austen\\r\n\u003Ci>Master and Margarita\u003C/i> by Mikhail Bulgakov\\r\n\u003Ci>The Secret Garden\u003C/i> by Frances Hodgeson Burnett\\r\n\u003Ci>Anna Karenina\u003C/i> by Lev Tolstoy\\r\n\u003Ci>The Twenty-one Balloons\u003C/i> by William Pene du Bois\\r\n\u003Ci>Thomasina\u003C/i> by Paul Gallico\\r\n\u003Ci>The White Darkness\u003C/i> by Geraldine McCaughrean\\r\n\u003Ci>Flowers for Algernon\u003C/i> by Daniel Keyes \\r\n\u003Ci>Rebecca\u003C/i> by Daphne du Maurier\\r\n\u003Ci>Ways to Live Forever\u003C/i> by Sally Nicholls\\r\n\u003Ci>The Secret Histories\u003C/i> by Donna Tartt\\r\n\u003Ci>The Magician's Nephew\u003C/i> by CS Lewis\\r\n\u003Ci>Life with Picasso\u003C/i> by Françoise Gilot & Carlton Lake\\r\n\u003Ci>His Dark Materials\u003C/i> by Philip Pullman\\r\n\\r\nJust curious, \u003Cb>what are your best reads?\u003C/b> Let me know your top five, ten or twenty, or leave a link if you've done something similar on your blog!
