Favourite books of all time

Waterstone's have recently started to feature a table of author's favourite and most influential reads which is a great way of exposing lesser known books to the reading public.

What are your favourite three books? Lets unearth some more classics!

1. Fugitive Pieces - Anne Michaels (and her new novel The Winter Vault is fantastic too). For her wonderful writing and imagination.
2. Gilead - Marilynne Robinson- Beautiful writing. Heartbreaking story.
3. Either Side of Winter - Benjamin Markovits. New York over four seasons and a cast of characters whose lives cross in ways they hadn't imagined..

I'm sure there's plenty more...
