Great Great Books

[Sarah Leigh ...]

Isn't funny how the list is very ... erm ... listless for ages, and 
then we all start getting really animated when it comes to our 
favourite books?
As regular listees will probably know I am not a huge reader (but 
certainly read more than I did before Harry came along).  My 
favourites recently have been 'The Time Traveller's Wife' (which made 
me laugh and cry and dread - much like HP) and 'The Curious Incident 
of the Dog and the Night time' - fascinating insight.
In terms of fantasy I did enjoy 'Shadowmancer' - it's short, dark and 
easy reading and the Shadowmancer made me think of what Snape could 
be like if he let the evil side take over his personality.
I have struggled to read 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell', which is 
odd because we have two copies in our house (one hard back, one soft) 
that people bought, thinking we would enjoy it.
I still haven't read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for a 
second time - maybe it's because I can't put myself through the 
tragedy (nah, only joking), but I know I must because my Fanfic 
relies heavily on finding Horcruxes and I can't remember all the 
details!  (The Lexicon is good, but I always feel like I'm cheating!).
