Favourite Books Read

It’s difficult to choose favourites as for me it’s often the one I’m currently reading, so the previous read becomes usurped by the next. There’s not enough reading time to read all the good books that exist. Therefore, I’ve only listed books I’ve read more than once, or would consider reading again. The lists are in no particular order, and If I made these lists in a month’s time they would likely change!
