I'm an English Literature student working for this new website, which was recently launched to invite the public to vote for their Top 5 albums, films and books
My top 5 films:
1. Withnail and I
2. Lawrence of Arabia
3. Jules et Jim
4. The Life of Brian
5. The Seventh Seal
Top 5 albums:
1. The Stone Roses: debut album
2. Radiohead: 'Ok Computer'
3. The Smiths
4. Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures
5. The Clash: London Calling
Books:
If you mean novels that is very hard. It would include:
Madame Bovary
Middlemarch (I've heard it said this is the greatest novel in the english language, with the possible exception of Ulysses)
D H Lawrence: Sons and Lovers, Women In Love
Evelyn Waugh: Brideshead Revisited, Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies
Something by P G Wodehouse
Hermann Hesse: Siddhartha, Steppenwolf
Great Expectations (Dickens' best)
Non fiction:
Shakespeare, the Invention of the Human by Harold Bloom
Jung's autobiography
