It’s Tuesday again which means time for another round of Top Ten Tuesday; I like joining in on this meme because I have a set topic to work with. Top Ten Tuesday is a book blogger meme that is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week the theme is: Books People Have Been Telling You That You MUST Read. I went through my Goodreads recommendations and picked ten books from there.
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
- Life: A User’s Manual by Georges Perec
- The Lighthouse by Alison Moore
- Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer (mean people)
- The Swan Book by Alexis Wright
- Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
- The Dream Life of Sukhanov by Olga Grushin
- On Literature by Umberto Eco
- My Beautiful Enemy by Cory Taylor
- Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta
And are you planning on reading any? Also I still think you need to give Natasha Troops Lakebridge Cycle books a go.
I do plan to read most of them, but you keep telling me about Troops, one day I might find the book

Are you seriously willing to pass up a great read.
to annoy you…yes
I’m not annoyed. She’s a great writer, I loved her book but there are many books out there
Interesting list. I haven’t even heard of several of them. And for the record, I don’t think you should read Twilight. Unless you want to.
I don’t want to but I get so many people begging me to, after the last two
Ooh, a big yes to The Dream Life of Sukhanov! =D The Lighthouse was a curious read as I recall…and Jane Eyre of course is quite the classic 🙂
I know, I know, I have to get onto them
Heyyy I’m not the only one that hasn’t read Jane Eyre. High five. haha
Melina Marchetta gets all the love and while I have read that one, it was just okay for me. I enjoyed it and can understand the appeal but I’m not big on contemporary in general.
I really need to get onto Jane Eyre.
