		<description>I&#039;ve read To Kill A Mockingbird over and over and over again because of English!! HAHA!
It gets so boring after a while
I think the Brian Jacques : Redwall series have to be read before you doe
And also the Tiffany Aching series of Terry Pratchetts books

Oh, and The Three Musketeers</description>

		<description>A good idea would be to actually say WHY these are books to read before you die. There is no way on earth I am ever going to read War &amp; Peace as I am simply uninterested in Historical, Romantic or Philosophically themed novels. It would be a colossal waste of time. It&#039;s not even historical like WWII historical, it&#039;s about Napoleon&#039;s invasion of Russia! Thanks, but no thanks.</description>

		<description>I agree with some of the choices Catch 22 , 1984, For Whom the Bell Tolls  and with Sylvias choice of authors.

Either Nostromo or Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad, Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, Vanity Fair - William Thackerary, Sons and Lovers D H Lawrence, The Quiet American - Graham Greene just to throw in a couple of strange ones anything from the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy series Douglas Adams, Train Spotting - Irvine Welsh. All personal favourites, loads others I can&#039;t remember</description>

		<description>Why are all of the books either British or American?
European literature is far richer than American literature.
Here are some recommendations:

&#039;The Conformist&#039; - Alberto Moravia
&#039;Atomised&#039; - Houellebecq
&#039;The Traveler&#039; - Szerb
&#039;All Quiet on the Western Front&#039;- Remarque
&#039;The Brothers Karamazov&#039; - Dostoevsky
&#039;One Hundred Years of Solitude&#039; - Marquez
&#039;If this is a Man&#039; - Levi (US title: &#039;Survival in Auschwitz&#039;)

Just to get the ball rolling.</description>

		<description>A tremendous read is an autobiography with a difference The Story of San Michele by Axel Munte, a Swedish doctor who felt passionately about animals as well as people, was a gifted hypnotist and spent a lot of time working in Italy, doctoring in fashionable society - also in plague, earthquake and war. He built a famous house on Capri - San Michele. It&#039;s a book that&#039;ll make you cry all right, but laugh yourself silly as well, sometimes, and what a history lesson it is without claiming to be anything.</description>
