As it's World Book Day, lets find out whats going down in the library of the NSC Ghetto....

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[RossyG]

So many possibilities, but I’d probably go with Great Expectations by Charlie Dickens.

I like a good adventure story, though, so close behind would be King Solomon’s Mines and Treasure Island.

As a younger kid it would’ve been Five Go to Smugglers Top or The Box Of Delights and as an older kid it would’ve been The Owl Service.

It's a cliche but the Harry Potter books really are excellent

 

[Beanstalk]

Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Norman Mailer said he would not have changed two in the book. There are few equal examples of anything written so concisely.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Which one is the best? I am guessing Philosophers Stone.

Personally big fan of Order of the Phoenix. It's the point at which the story kicks up a notch and takes a slightly darker turn.

 

[Grombleton]

Kama Sutra: Pop Up edition.

 

[Live by the sea]

The adventures of huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain .

Never bettered in my view.

One of the most open polls in years.

Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I think I remember the film. And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it.

No love for The Eyes of Darkness by Dean Koontz? I like the part where he emphasises the change in narrative by changing font and writing style.

Nah, Dale Winton's My Story is missing - that's a vital omission. Surprised at Crodo slipping up there

James Haskell; What a Flanker

 

[Yes Chef]

I've only read 'Of mice and men' from Crodo's list.

I'll probably say Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it's the book I've probably re-read the most
