A History of the World in 10 ½ chapters / Julian Barnes. – Vintage books, 2009
R BAR
Beginning with an unlikely stowaway’s account of life on board Noah’s Ark, A History of the
World in 10 ½ chapters presents a surprising, subversive, fictional history of Earth told from
several kaleidoscopic perspectives. Noah disembarks from his ark but he and his Voyage are
not forgotten : they are revisited in other centuries and other climes – by a Victorian spinster
mourning her father, by an American astronaut on an obsessive personal mission. We journey
to the Titanic, to the Amazon, to the raft of the Medusa, and to an ecclesiastical court in
medieval France where a bizarre case is about to begin…
What a carve up ! / Jonathan Coe. – Penguin books, 1994
R COE
It is the 1980s and the Winshaw family are getting richer and crueler by the year :
Newspaper-columnist Hilary gets thousands for telling it like it isn’t ; Henry’s turning hospitals
into car parks ; Roddy’s selling art in return for sex ; down on the farm Dorothy’s squeezing
every last pound from her livestock ; Thomas is making a killing on the stock exchange ; and
Mark is selling arms to dictators.
But once their hapless biographer Michael Owen starts investigating the family’s trail of greed,
corruption and immoral doings, the time grows ripe for the Winshaws to receive their
comeuppance…
The van / Roddy Doyle. – Vintage books, 1991
R DOY
Jimmy Rabbitte is unemployed and rapidly running out of money. His best friend Bimbo has
been made redundant at the company where he has worked for many years. The two old
friends are out of luck and out of options. That is, until Bimbo finds a dilapidated “chipper van”
and the pair decide to go into business…
The remains of the day / Kazuo Ishiguro. – Faber and Faber, 1989
R ISH
In the summer of 1956, Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely
holiday that will take him into the countryside and into his past.
The Buddha of Suburbia / Hanif Kureishi. – Faber and Faber, 1990
R KUR
The hero of Hanif Kureishi’s first novel is Karim, a dreamy teenager, desperate to escape
suburban South London and experience the forbidden fruits which the 1970s seem to offer.
When the unlikely opportunity of a life in the theatre announces itself, Karim starts to win the
sort of attention he has been craving – albeit with some rude and raucous results.

A murder of quality / John Le Carré. – Penguin books, 2011
R LEC
Carne school, one of the old English public school, will not tolerate behavior that endangers the
intensely studious and quietly competitive life of its masters and boys. So when Stella Rode, the
unpopular wife of an instructor, is murdered the school is shocked to its core. But more trouble
is on the way.
George Smiley, assisting a former Secret Service colleague who corresponded with the
murderer woman, arrives at Carne. He carries a letter from Stella Rode claiming that her
husband wanted to kill her. He has also come to ask questions and to listen to answers.
Little by little Smiley begins to uncover the secrets and hatreds that lie within the college
cloisters. But while the school seeks to blame outsiders, Smiley is convinced that the murderer
resides within its hallowed halls…
The spy who came in from the cold / John Le Carré. – Penguin books, 2010
R LEC
Alec Leamas is tired. It’s the 1960s, he’s been out in the cold for years, spying in the shadow of
the Berlin Wall for his British masters. Now Control wants to bring him in at last – but only after
one final assignment. He must travel deep into the heart of Communist Germany and betray his
country, a job that he will do with his usual cynical professionalism. But when George Smiley
tries to help a young woman Leamas has befriended, it may prove the worst thing he could ever
have done.
Changing places / David Lodge. – Vintage books, 2011
R LOD
When Philip Swallow and Professor Morris Zapp participate in their universities’ Anglo-American
exchange scheme, the Fates play a hand, and each academic finds himself enmeshed in the
life of his counterpart on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Nobody is immune to the exchange :
students, colleagues, even wives are swapped as events spiral out of control. And soon both
sundrenched Euphoric State University and rain-kissed University of Rummidge are hotbed of
intrigue, lawlessness and broken vows…
Nice work / David Lodge. – Vintage books, 2011
R LOD
When Vic Wilcox (MD of Pringle and Sons engineering work) meets english lecturer Dr Robyn
Penrose, sparks fly as their lifestyles and ideologies collide head on. What, after all, are they
supposed to learn from each other ? But in time both parties make some surprising discoveries
about each other’s worlds – and about themselves.
The British Museum is falling down / David Lodge. – Vintage books, 2011
R LOD
The British Museum is falling down is a brilliant comic satire of academia, religion and human
entanglements. First published in 1965, it tells the story of hapless, scooter-riding young
research student Adam Appleby, who is trying to write his thesis but is constantly distracted –
not least by the fact that, as Catholics in the 1960s, he and his wife must rely on “Vatican
roulette” to avoid a fourth child.

Therapy / David Lodge. – Vintage books, 2011
R LOD
A successful sitcom writer with plenty of money, a stable marriage, a platonic mistress and a
flash car, Laurence “Tubby” Passmore has more reason than most to be happy. Yet neither
physiotherapy nor aromatherapy, cognitive-behaviour therapy or acupuncture can cure his
puzzling knee pain or his equally inexplicable midlife angst.
As Tubby’s life fragments under the weight of his self-obsession, he embarks – via Kierkegaard,
strange beds from Rummidge to Tenerife to Beverly Hills, a fit of literary integrity and memories
of his 1950s South London boyhood – on a picaresque quest for his lost contentment.
Saturday / Ian McEwan. – Vintage books, 2005
R MCE
Saturday, February 15, 2003. Henry Perowne is a contented man – a successful neurosurgeon,
the devoted husband of Rosalind and proud father of two grown-up children. Unusually, he
wakes before dawn, drawn to the window and filled with a growing unease. As he looks out at
the night sky he is troubled by the state of the world – the impending war against Iraq, a
gathering pessimism since 9/11, and a fear that the city and his happy family life are under
threat.
Later, as Perowne makes his way through London streets filled with hundreds of thousands of
anti-war protestors, a minor car accident brings him into a confrontation with Baxter, a fidgety,
aggressive young man, on the edge of violence. To Preowne’s professional’s eye, there
appears to be something profoundly wrong with him. But it is not until Baxter makes a sudden
appearance as the Perowne family gathers for a reunion that Henry’s earlier fears seem about
to be realised.
Angela’s ashes : the story of an irish childhood / Franck McCourt. – HarperCollins,
1996
R MCC
Limerick, 1934. It’s cold and it’s wet. Franck, his parents and three brothers have just come
back from America to start a new life in Ireland. But life in Limerick is even harder than life in
1930s’ New York. Franck’s father, Malachy, is from the North of Ireland and people say he has
the “strange look”. He loves his family, but he also likes to drink…
Seen through a child’s eyes, Angela’s ashes tells the true story of Frank’s experiences with
school, work, girls, death and the Catholic Church.
The cement garden / Ian McEvwan. – Vintage books, 1997
R MCE
In the relentless summer heat, four abruptly orphaned children retreat into a shadowy, isolated
world, and find their own strange and unsettling ways of fending for themselves…
Midnight’s children / Salman Rushdie. – Vintage books, 2006
R RUS
Born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, at the precise moment of India’s
independence, the infant Saleem Sinai is celebrated in the press and welcomed by Prime
Minister Nehru himself. But this coincidence of birth has consequences Saleem is not prepared

p. 4/11
for : telepathic powers that connect him with 1 000 other “midnight children” – all born in the
initial hour of India’s independence – and an uncanny sense of smell that allows him to sniff out
dangers others cannot perceive. Inextricably linked to his nation, Saleem’s biography is a
whirlwind of disasters and triumphs that mirrors the course of modern India at its most
impossible and glorious.
Decline and fall / Evelyn Waugh. – Penguin books, 2001
R WAU
Sent down from Oxford in outrageous circumstances, Paul Pennyfeather is oddly unsurprised to
find himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster at Llanabba Castle. His colleagues are an
assortment of misfits, rascals and fools, including Prendy (plagued by doubts) and Captain
Grimes, who is always in the soup (or just plain drunk). Then Sports Day arrives, and with it the
delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde, floating on a scented breeze. As the farce unfolds and the
young run riot, no one is safe, least of all Paul.
Scoop / Evelyn Waugh. – Penguin books, 2000
R WAU
Lord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of the Daily Beast, has always prided himself
on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd
blunder, however, and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner-party
tip from Mrs Algernon Stitch he feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a
promising little war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia.
Transpotting / Irvine Welsh. – Vintage books, 1993
R WEL
The picture of Dorian Gray / Oscar Wilde. – Penguin books, 2000
R WIL
Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and
beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life,
indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only
his portrait bears the traces of his decadence.
