    3 books is hard..

    The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

    Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks

    Question: if His Dark Materials and The Lord of the Rings are considered one book, and something like Dark Tower by Stephen King is considered one book [not mentioned here yet, but only a matter of time], then can Harry Potter be considered one book too - if it was it would make it into my list :)

    Good question, maybe the mods should direct me in this but I would be willing to consider the Harry Potter books as one if that suits.

    Really hard to pick 3, but if I was stranded on a desert island I could survive with these 3, I think...
