The greatest novel you ever read?
For me, it's Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.

LOL, you should check out my ex-gf's novel 'Bound To Love'. It's an erotic thriller ... the publisher was banking on the 50 shades of grey set. It's fucking terrible, but ironically my dog got a mention in it. haha. Honestly, I couldn't make this shit up if it wasn't true.
Seriously though Fincho, 'The Road To Wigan Pier' is a good read. Check that out you silly sod.

Got to be Nostromo for me. By the greatest English language writer, despite Joseph Conrad being Polish.
