- @Diane Amphlett I love that one too, I actually wrote one of my third year essays on it at uni! Detectives always make for a fun read! Great recommendation :)
- @Saahia Mayenin nothing wrong with oldies! Dickens's friend Wilkie Collins wrote the Moonstone, considered to be the first detective novel, it's amazing. Though, if you're a Dickens fan, you may well have already read it.
- Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day - For the appreciation of quiet gentle moments and small acts of kindness that can change lives <3
- I will have to mention a really old one: Connections by James Burke. In my opinion, this is a book with a vision that is as valid today as it was back in 1978, and perhaps even more.
- Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts!
- An Immense World, by Ed Yong - this changed my perspective on everything. After you read this book, you'll find yourself seeing the world completely differently and hopefully more empathetically to the habitat and environment around us.
- The Chimp Paradox
