If you had to pick ten books that gave you the most in pure "reading pleasure", then what would they be? I'm thinking about books with a really engrossing plot and characters, where reading is no effort and you just have to keep going. My top ten is:
The Music of Chance - Paul Auster
Talented Mr Ripley - Patricia Highsmith
The Collector - John Fowles
The Beach- Alex Garland
The Dead Zone - Stephen King
And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie
The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks
Cold Caller - Jason Starr
Revolutionary Road - Richard Yates
We, The Accused - Ernest Raymond
I've thought about books from my whole reading life that have absorbed me the most. I still remember the thrill of being lost in these books!
