I loved The Time Traveller's Wife. I recommended it to everyone I know who reads. It was equally enjoyed by male/ female readers I know - but the men did have eclectic tastes and didn't need explosions and espionage in their books.

Also loved the Sandman series - I have some of the original comics, most of the series in reprint form and the graphic novels so I can read them in bed and generally not worry about damaging fragile (relatively speaking) comics. I remember my work collegue being amazed that I wasn't embarrassed about reading graphic novels on the Tube. Or children's books (this was before Harry Potter hit the public consciousness). I turned him into a Sandman fan

So do I! I loved it. Can't recommend it enough.

I still love the classics I adored as a child. I could almost recite Little Women and The Secret Garden for you! There was a time (when I had endless summers) that I would finish either one and just start again.

I recently read "I'm not Scared" by Niccolo Ammaniti. I'd recommend it.
