it's fascinating reading this diverse set of favourites from this community - what a well-read bunch!
Here's what i can think of right now:
War and Peace, Anna Karenina - Tolstoy The Master
John Keats' poetry - been neglecting this lately.
Snow Falling on Cedars - David Guterson - a dreamy story.
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte read it half a dozen times... time for another go...
......in fact i love most things Bronte and Jane Austen.
2001 A Space Odyssey - Arthur C. Clarke
Anything by Michael Connolly - love Harry Bosch.
Culture Shock BDSM online story by Sir Nathan, which led me here.
Pears Cyclopedia - an early '80s version - many happy childhood hours dipping into it.
Astronomy Yearbook - '80s version? Patrick Moore
.........probably loads more that will occur to me in a minute....
