If you are interested, the audiobook is fantastic- it’s actually one I prefer on audio.
The 48 Laws of Power – Robert Greene
Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow
I don’t really have an all time favourite, but I love these books. The Alchemist by Paul Coelho, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Sorrows of satan by Marie Corelli and Catcher in the Rye by Salinger.
I’m trying to read catcher in the rye now. I’m struggling to complete it. I think I’m just not in the mood for boy humor. Must finish this book for January though it’s on my 50/50 list.
