(Wow! Where do I begin?)

The Bible – I recommend this for all readers. It can be found easily and in many versions, but with one message and one author: God.

Miss Bishop, by Bess Streeter Aldrich, is a very well-written book with a clever storyline. It made me laugh and cry.

Alistair MacLean is a very favourite. He specializes in the genres Action/Adventure and Suspense/Thriller, with a dash of satisfying romance. He was in the Navy during World War Two, which makes his war and sea books shine above the others.

I recommend his books for 13+ – I loved them as a 'young adult'.

In bold are those I particularly like. Some of his books are:

HMS Ulysses
When Eight Bells Toll
The Guns of Navarone
*Right* Force 10 From Navarone (sequel)
Seawitch

Athabasca
Partisans
Puppet On A Chain
Ice Station Zebra
Night Without End
River of Death
Breakheart Pass
Bear Island
The Dark Crusader
The Satan Bug
San Andreas
South By Java Head
The Golden Rendezvous
...and many more.

I also love the classic authors, like Jane Austen, the Brontes, Charles Dickens (although I find him a little dry), C.S Lewis, J.R Tolkien.
