Best:
1. 1984 by George Orwell (pretty amazing. I didn't think I would like this book at all at first, but after a few chapters I was absolutely hooked and couldn't put it down).
2. If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor (beautiful and poetic and so utterly magical, I love this book so much)
3. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (it's dark and slightly eerie and beautifully written. Jane is an interesting and complex character - although slightly irritating at times - and Mr Rochester is quite delicious, heh).

Honourable mentions: Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (absolutely captivating fantasy), Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (one of my all-time favourites), A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

Worst:
1. Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer (the first three were pretty bad but this one took the absolute piss)
2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (insanely dull and full of simpering idiot women. Love the film versions though)
3. Orlando by Virginia Woolf (it was all going swimmingly until he turned into a woman and then seemed to skip forward in time by a few hundred years ... er, what? I know it was all deeply symbloic but it was pretty gash IMO)

Honourable mentions: Any of the Twilight books by Stephanie Meyer, anything by Jane Austen, Waverly by Walter Scott, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things by JT Leroy, The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (loved his first book, loathed this one), The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark.
