Books, so many books...

I can't resist a book, especially if it is going cheap in a charity shop. I now have more books than I care to mention on my bookshelves which need reading. Alway motivated by a good list (or two) here are the outstanding books on my bookshelves - I just need to get cracking!

• Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
• Marley and Me - John Grogan
• The Interpretation of Murder - Jed Rubenfeld
• How to be good - Nick Hornby
• Little Women - Louisa M Alcott
• Murder on the Orient Express - Agatha Christie
  
• The Amber spyglass - Philip Pullman
• The Man in the picture - Susan Hill
• Enigma - Robert Harris
• Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
• Last Tango in Aberystwyth - Malcolm Pryce
