A good read for the week-end

May 21, 2011 by Nathaniel

Over 100 Face Book users recommended the following books to read over the week end of 21 to 22 May 2011.  I’ve selected all the Novels which were:

1) Not already on the list,

2) Attracted at least one “like” recommendation from other Face Book users.

The result is the poll below which you can use to make your recommendation for a good read for the week-end.  The selection with the most votes will end up on the list of Novels you might want to read in your life-time.

Voting for this poll has now closed
