I was looking through my Amazon recommendations again today trying to find some more books to add to my list. I seem to have written most of them down now though – really I need to stop listing and get reading, but until I’m earning a proper wage that’s impossible. So for now I’ll just keep writing of my list and dreaming of the day I can order something new to read.
For now I wanted to ask if you could recommend one book that everyone should read before they die what would it be? And why? Answers in my comments please. If I like the sound of what you suggest I may even add it to my list…

Don’t get me started! Seriously, I just finished reading a book that will be on shelves in August called The Gargoyle. If you read my review, you will see that I thought it was great.
Also, I recommend reading Haruki Murakmi’s book, “The Wind-up Bird Chronicle,” which had a somewhat life-changing effect on me. Murakami is a master at showing you the mundane through a new lens.
Thanks for that. I’ve just read your review and The Gargoyle sounds amazing. It comes out just before my birthday, so I now know what gift I want this year 😀
If I may be so bold, may I suggest you have a look at my book, An Island Away. It’s on Amazon, but I don’t know if you can get it in Germany. Anyway, you can find excerpts and such through my blog at http://www.bentpage.wordpress.com. Thanks!
Daniel: I’ve had a look and the book sounds great. I’d love to read it. It has been added to my list 🙂
Bevchen,
Thank you. Let me know what you think. I’m working on the sequel.
