Celebrating World Book Day

March 1, 2007 12:24 PM

World Book DayToday, 1st March, is World Book Day and Yorkshire & the Humber Euro MP Diana Wallis is joining the celebrations by listing the '10 books she couldn't do without'.

For World Book Day's tenth anniversary, the organisers are finding out the ten most life-enhancing books according to book lovers.

Diana said:

"I spend a lot of time travelling, much of which is spent sitting about at airports and on trains so I get to read a lot. It is also a release from work related activities."

Here is Diana's list of 10 books she considers the most important for her. What do you think?

The Little White Horse - Elizabeth Goudge

Katherine - Anya Seton

Rings of Saturn - W.G. Sebald

Hawksmoor - Peter Ackroyd

The Four Quartets - T.S. Eliot

The Waves - Virginia Woolf

Les Hommes de la Route - Andre Chamson

Catherine von Wattenwyl - Therese Bichsel

The Ornament of the World - Maria Rosa Menocal
