BBC have a listing for ladies choice of life affecting books:



Anyone got any to offer here to complement the Big Read?

I don't off the top of my head, as the Moomintroll books are likely to drop off the top three when I think about it.

I'll come back once I have thought.

As a person of the female gender (I would never claim to be a 'lady'!), I have to say that a.) I haven't read half of those, and b.) those on the list I have read were good - some even excellent - but not life-changing. I could never make a desert island choice either! There are several I have loved, often re-read, and would not want to be without - but not one particular one, and one only, that I can't live without.

My favourite book as a child, and still one I love re-reading was 'The Wind in the Willows'. (I cried buckets when Mole went back to his little underground house.) Others since then are too numerous to mention!
