Top 5 books

So, I think Jonathan Franzens freedom is one of the best 5 books I have read. Which made me think I should have a list.

Out of interest, my categories are - enduring characters, cultural resonance, personal impact. 

 

In the Beauty of the Lillies - Updike

Girlfriend in a Coma - Coupland

East of Eden - Steinbeck

Freedom - Franzen

A Prayer for Owen Meany - Irving

Lord of the Rings - Tolkein

 

That is 6. I feel like Salman Rushdie 'Shame' should be in there too.
