   Every once in a while, I hit the "Random Deviant" button and leave them a question on their wall: "If you were to recommend me one book I have to read before I die, what would it be?" Here are the results. Titles in  "The History of the Devil" by Clive Barker "The Ghost of Memory" by Wilson Harris "The Gadfly" by Ethel Lilian Voynich  "The Hot Kid" by Elmore Leonard "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkein |
| I have taken the actually list of BBC's "The Big Read" (as opposed to the phoney list meme that's floating around on Facebook and elsewhere on the Internet), combined it with the Guardian's "Books You Can't Lives Without: The Top 100", and, after adding some classics and assorted must-reads, have created the ultimate book bucket list. These books are in no particular order of popularity, unlike the BBC and Guardian lists, and I have clumped some books together by their author where appropriate, making the list a little more navigable.
