Charles Dickens

May 1, 2008

The 40 books that inspired Sebastian Faulks

“A reconstruction of the events of July 1, 1916, perhaps the blackest day in British history, by a poultry farmer-turned-historian. Calm, detailed and horrifying, it was written at a time (1970) when no one seemed to care.”

They range from the delights of Dr Dolittle to the darkness of A Clockwork Orange , the books that should be on everyone's shelves. via Telegraph.co.uk
