I don’t read tons of fiction, but here are five entries that I have enjoyed very much in the past.
· Flashman, by George McDonald Fraser
· Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky
· Most short stories by Edgar Allen Poe
· The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake, by Sam Bawlf
(non-fiction, but quite speculative)
· The War in the Air, by HG Wells

The Sorrows of Young Werter, by Goethe
The Host, by Stephanie Meyer (Tis amazing - much better than Twilight, I.M.O)
The Secret Garden, Francis Hodgeson Burnett
The Word on the Street, Rob Lacey

Re: Your five favourite books?
It's hard to pick up only five. Also, it's difficult to remember many of the good books that I have read. I remember these five:
1) To the light house by Virginia Woolf
2) The wind up bird chronicles by Haruki Murakami
3) The book of laughter and forgetting by Milan Kundera
4) The periodic table by Primo Levi
5) The magic mountain by Thomas Mann
(Seems like I am inclined to books that start with the article 'The'. Coincidence!!!)
