First Ever Top Ten List

Everyone has there own top tens in every category whether it be films, songs, places to go or anything else they can think of. Being inspired by all the lists out there, I've decided to start putting out my own monthly top tens starting with:

Top Ten (Fiction) Books

10. The Twits, Roald Dahl















The lives of the worst married couple you could ever imagine.
(I felt compelled to put a children's book in this list. And out of children's books, this is just about the greatest one.)

9. Pilgrim, Timothy Findley
















About a man that can't die... but wants to.


8. The Hitchhiker Trilogy (in Five Volumes), Douglas Adams
















Intergalactic mayhem.

7. The Gate to Women's Country, Sheri S. Tepper















A future where women live in peaceful towns, and men live in the surrounding badlands playing war games.

6. Life of Pi, Yann Martel















A boy is lost at sea for over 200 days... with a tiger.

5. Anthem, Ayn Rand















The experiences of one man in a future where individuality no longer exists.

4. A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess















An "ultraviolent" young thug is jailed, then volunteers for a radical rehabilitation program in exchange for reduced time.

3. Island, Aldous Huxley















A journalist travels to a secluded island utopia.

2. Self, Yann Martel















A boy miraculously turns into a woman on his eighteenth birthday.

1. Brave New World, Aldous Huxley















A false utopia where everyone is "happy", but everything is trivial.
