Temeraire - Naomi Novik (Read a book written by an unknown author)
The Immortals of Meluha - Amish (Read a book written by an Indian author)
The Ramayana - Valmiki (Read a mythological epic)
The Children of Hurin - J. R. R. Tolkien (Read a book by an all-time favourite author)
Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman - Richard Feynman (Read an autobiography)
Picadilly Jim - P. G. Wodehouse (Read a book your grandfather bought for you[my grandfather buys me a book a month])
The Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton (Read a childhood favourite)
Temple - Matthew Reilly (Read a techno-thriller novel)
