"A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey
"Dune" by Frank Herbert - this was recommended on the Feistfans mailing list, and backed up Raymond E Feist himself so I thought I'd give it a go. Great read with a very original and interesting universe but I felt it lacked something. Still not sure what that thing was but it just seemed like it needed a bit more "oomph". Also, not a book that stayed with me much after reading.

Ive Read the Audry Hepburn one, oh it is just brilliant! Sweet, sad, and oh so very beautiful! Just like Audry herself
Thanks Jess! You've helped me to decide what to read next :)
hey Jess, just wanted to let you know that I read the Audrey Hepburn book and loved it. Finished it in a few hours and cried at the end. Made me fall so much more in love with her and also got me looking into UNICEF as a charity. Thanks for the recommendation!
