The Bibliophile's 250 Favourite Novels - Page 5

This is the first in a series of lists about my favourite novels and non-fiction books. I'm beginning at the largest number I decided upon, being 250, and gradually working my way down to determine what my favourite fiction and non-fiction books of all time are. What I consider my favourite books are not what I necessarily consider the best books, nor do they automatically come from my list of 1001 Books To Read Before You Die. Rather, I consider a favourite book what it sounds to be - a book that I have enjoyed reading more than the average book I read; where dismay sets in at the amount of the book that's been read after just one or two days, and where the book is shut for the final time with a satisfied but bittersweet feeling.
