The Independent: ’50 Best Winter Reads’

The Independent has posted an interesting rundown of what they consider to be their top 50 winter reads. The selection is both intriguing and eclectic, covering most literary tastes, and pretty much all age-groups.

Titles range from classics such as The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath to current best-sellers such as Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book and Ian Rankin’s Door Open, to wholly politically flavoured titles such as Adam Boulton’s Tony’s Ten Years: Memories of the Blair Administration and Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father, to the more ‘out there’ choices such as Vanity Fair: a Century of Iconic Images and Julian Norridge’s Can We Have Our Balls Back, Please?

Anyway go and check out the list yourself, but be prepared to have to click through each entry in the list one at a time in order to see them all (which isn’t all bad because each entry has a cover shot and a brief synopsis).
