The Thirteenth Tale by Dianne Setterfield<br /><br />8. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James (I’ve lost count how many times I’ve read this! And each time, I see things in a different light.)<br /><br />9. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith<br /><br />10. The Count of Monte Cristo (Unabridged, thank you very much! ;)<br /><br />A couple of bonus favorites:<br /><br />11. Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield<br /><br />12.
