    The Help and Bravo two zero although both of those are based on real stories.

    Most read novel would be The Green Mile

    Can't say that any of the classics mentioned here draw me back to them. However I do dust off the novels of Tom Sharpe about every 10 years and re-read

    An essential book to read if you want to understand the problems of today and how market forces feed the overfed rich and kick the poor in the teeth.Nothing changes.

    If you like that,then try The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists,although written over a century ago,just as relevant today.

    Agreed. A fantastic read, with possibly the greatest last line ever written.

    Thurber's short story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and Keith Waterhouse's novel "Billy Liar" both of which were lent to me by my pal Kempo.
