A Good Selection of Books

A list drawn from my personal library, including classics, popular fiction, genre fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama. I hope this list is a little bit more "accessible" than some, and if you've read a good variety from here I think you can call yourself well read, even if I do say so myself!
