Your top 10 books that must be perused
Folks,Got some free gift tokens to use and I need a list of your top ten books in no particular order. I read at least 1 book a week on average for the last 30 odd years, so I know most of the classic's but there are books that you read loads of times.
My most read book has got to be Tom Sharpes Wilt, the most funny book ever IMO, still reading a falling apart version from the 70's, when I need cheering up. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 My all time favorite but is out of print. but!
