    I want you to recommend for me a good book to get for Xmas.

    I am thinking of one of the "classics".

    I have read Nineteen Eighty Four, Brave New World, Clockwork Orange, Catcher In The Rye, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, To Kill A Mockingbird to name a few.

    Any ideas?

    I dunno... stories good but there's too many 'coincidences' for my liking!

    I suggest Filth by Irvine Welsh. You wont regret it !

    also.

    Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham
    I am Legend - Richard Matheson
    The Beach - Alex Garland

    Not exactly thought of as classics but they are some of my favourite books.
