NB: I'm using the Goodreads rating system, which goes like this:
1/5: I didn't like it
2/5: It was okay
3/5: I liked it
4/5: I really liked it
5/5: It was amazing

NB: I'm going to be more harsh with my rating this year, and I'm going to try and refrain from giving 5/5 to all great books, and reserve the highest rating for books that are great as well as recommendable, books that I will definitely want to re-read in the future and that I want to own a copy of.

Fiction
Unknown Thriller (my friend borrowed this just before we graduated secondary school and I never got it back, don't remember the
title or author. I liked the story but I don't remember much else about it. It was about a child with autism in a closet who witnesses a crime,
then the police have to try and get the information. If anyone knows the title or author, I'd be happy to know.)

Daniel Tammet - Thinking in Numbers (I don't remember a lot about this book, other than that I liked it.)
* Elizabeth Moon - Speed of Dark (excellent book, I thought autism is portrayed quite well though the main character's problems aren't the exact same as my own. His autism is more severe I think. Really great to read though, really thought-provoking.)
Ryan Ennis - The Thursday Surprise (not so great, very simplistic. It doesn't really explain autism well. Meant for children.)
* Jodi Picoult - House Rules (excellent book, AS is portrayed quite well. Main character's problems are similar but not the same as my own.)
* Mark Haddon - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (excellent book, AS is portrayed well. Some things I could really
identify with, but as with House Rules the main character doesn't adhere to social rules as much as I would've done in their case (both of the
characters try to solve a crime / mystery).

Non-fiction
* Gunilla Gerland - A Real Person (brilliant, a lot of recognisable things when I read this at the time)
Luke Jackson - Freaks, Geeks & Asperger's Syndrome (I don't remember a lot from this book, it was allright)
Liane Holliday Willey - Pretending to be Normal (I don't remember a lot from this book, I liked it but otherwise don't remember much of it)
* Dominique Dumortier - Van een andere planeet (very good, a lot of recognisable things)
Cis Schiltmans - Autisme verteld (not too great)
Peter Vermeulen - ...!? Over autisme & communicatie (pretty allright)
Peter Vermeulen - Een gesloten boek (pretty allright)
Peter Vermeulen - Dit is de titel (pretty allright)
Theo Peeters - Autisme: Van begrijpen tot begeleiden (not so great)
* Martine Delfos - Een vreemde wereld (excellent book, many recognisable things in there)
Loar & Nvvs - Autisme en seksualiteit (I didn't really like this book, but at the time I wasn't interested in any romantic relationship)
Stephen M. Shore and Linda G. Castelli - Understanding Autism for Dummies (nice but mainly targeted towards parents of more severely autistic children
* Georgina Gomez de la Cuesta and James Mason - Asperger's Syndrome for Dummies (excellent book, written for people with AS. Very clear, precise language, really enjoyed this one, in particular the chapter on AS and women.)

100 Books Every Child Should Read - from The Daily Telegraph

list provided by Jänet

Early years

1. The Twits by Roald Dahl
Mr and Mrs Twit pass the time playing nasty tricks on one another. They're both horrid. In his hairy beard, Mr Twit "was always able to find a
tasty morsel to nibble on".

2. Burglar Bill by Janet and Allan Ahlberg
"I'll 'ave that," is the catchphrase of the rogue who stars in this engaging and beautifully illustrated tale. When Bill accidentally burglarises a
baby, it turns out to be a blessing in a stolen basket. "Runfrit, Boglaboll!"

3. The Tiger Who Came To Tea by Judith Kerr
Newsnight's Emily Maitlis has a theory that this book is an allegory about sex. Most children understand it as the story of a tiger that eats its hosts out of house and home. Debate continues.

4. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
When Max engages in mischief, he is sent to bed without his supper. That's just the start. Sendak's paintings sing, and the text is a joy.

5. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers by Beatrix Potter
Tom Kitten learnt nothing from his parents about the consequences of curiosity. Abducted by a psychotic rat, he comes within a whisker of
being turned into a pudding. Nightmares guaranteed.

6. Yertle the Turtle by Dr Seuss
Theodor Geisel's response to Hitler was more oblique than Stauffenberg's, but as effective. Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. Someone's riding for a fall.

7. Fungus the Bogeyman by Raymond Briggs
What boy won't thrill to the world of the Bogeymen, all snot, armpits and boils? This gave Raymond Briggs's green crayon the workout of its life.

8. The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business by Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch
Someone's dropping lands on poor mole's head. Who's the culprit? A farmyard investigation is conducted with Germanic seriousness. Mole's revenge is sweet.

9. Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson
Punchier than The Gruffalo, this has children chanting along as a witch and her animal friends see off a dragon in search of "witch and chips".

10. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
"In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf…" so begins this classic board book, its pages drilled with holes as the caterpillar eats his way through the week.

11. The Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss
"Look at me! Look at me! Look at me now!" The cat's a big show-off, but he knows how to have fun, and his chaotic antics delight.

12. Charlotte's Web by EB White
White's 1952 masterpiece describes the friendship between a lonely pig and a talented spider. This poignant tale teaches lessons about love, death and differing life expectancies.

13. The Story of Babar by Jean de Brunhoff
When Babar sees his mother shot he reacts as any modern child might: a few tears, then off on a shopping spree. Nice green suit, though.

14. Winnie-the-Pooh by AA Milne, illustrated by EH Shepard
Visit Hundred Acre Wood, and meet Pooh, Piglet and Christopher Robin, based on AA Milne's son. This classic story hasn't aged, and EH Shepard's understated illustrations remain the best.

Middle Years

15. Stig of the Dump by Clive King
When Barney falls down a dump the last thing he expects is to meet a cave boy. Stig was an eco-warrior before the term was invented. Sprightly, comic, classic.

16. Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild
Adopted sisters Posy, Pauline and Petrova Fossil train as a dancer, an actor and an aeroplane pilot. A bally treat.

17. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
The Witch of Waste puts Sophie under a spell. To break it, she must brave the castle of the Wizard Howl. Imaginative and terribly funny.

18. Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling
Learn how the leopard got his spots and the camel his hump. And remember "The Elephant's Child" - whose "satiable suriosity" turns his "bulgy nose" into a trunk?

19. The Borrowers by Mary Norton
First published in 1953, this remains a deserved favourite. The Clock family live beneath a floorboard, making do with what "human beans" drop, until one day one of them allows herself to be seen…

20. Struwwelpeter by Heinrich Hoffman
These pungent 1840 morality tales are not to be taken literally: in one, a boy gets his thumbs chopped off.

21. The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton
Jo, Bessie and Fanny climb to the top of a magical tree, above which are endlessly circulating worlds: the Land of Birthdays, or, more unluckily, of Dame Slap.

22. Danny, the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl
Danny and his hard-up father bond over poaching pheasants from nasty Mr Hazell's land - before moral dues are paid.

23. George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl
To cure his grumpy grandmother, George Kranky concocts a medicine from shaving foam, sheep dip, engine oil and brown paint. Granny grows huge. The ending is dark even for Dahl.

24. Underwater Adventure by Willard Price
Willard Price invented zoologist brothers Hal and Roger Hunt to get children interested in nature. Underwater Adventure takes them into
shark-infested seas. Some sharks are human.

25. Tintin in Tibet by Hergé
After Tintin reads of a plane crash in the Himalayas, he dreams his friend Chang has survived. Uniquely, there are no villains - just a tender yeti and acres of snow.

26. The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales
Sourced from medieval German folktales by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm in the 19th century, these sanguinary stories deal with abduction, cannibalism and worse.

27. Erik the Viking by Terry Jones, illustrated by Michael Foreman
Erik tells his wife that he must go to "the land where the sun goes at night"; off he travels on an atmospheric adventure, terrifically illustrated.

28. When the Wind Blows by Raymond Briggs
Jim and Hilda Bloggs's preparation for a nuclear attack remains enthralling. First comic, then moving.

29. Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by TS Eliot
This delightful collection of verse sees cat-loving Eliot capering about with his trousers rolled. A perfect introduction to the pleasures of poetry for children.

30. The Iron Man by Ted Hughes
Since it appeared in 1968, the late Poet Laureate's children's book has become a classic. Benign iron bloke falls from sky, battles space-bat-angel-dragon, saves world. Bliss.

31. The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear
Edward Lear's bizarre story of inter-species elopement and gastronomic adventure still charms and diverts. Runcible.

32. The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." But reading about Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger runs it a close second.

33. The Worst Witch Collection by Jill Murphy
Before Harry Potter there was Mildred Hubble, the worst witch at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. A tale of flying broomsticks, rivalries and
magical pedagogy.

34. Peter Pan by JM Barrie
JM Barrie's Neverland adventures were first performed as a play, and later turned into a novel. Clap your hands if you believe.

35. Mr Majeika by Humphrey Carpenter
Mr Majeika, with his tuft of hair, is ever ready to cast spells on unruly pupils - most notably Hamish Bigmore, whose rudeness gets him changed into a frog. Charming and funny in equal measure.

36. The Water Babies by Charles Kinglsey
Tom the sweep drowns after being chased from a rich household and falls into a sub-aquatic purgatory. But once he proves his worth he is allowed wonderful adventures.

37. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Seven-year-old Sara Crewe is sent back from India to Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies in England, to discover she has lost her fortune to a swindler and her father to disease. A stirring tale.

38. I'm The King of the Castle by Susan Hill
A powerful and claustrophobic study of bullying, this has a real narrative grip and a frightening message. No reader remains untouched.

39. The Wave by Morton Rhue
Teacher Ben Ross doesn't think his students understand what it was like to live in Nazi Germany, so he devises an experiment. A powerful story about the risks of conformism.

40. Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren
Pippi is impulsive, irrepressible, red-haired and so strong you won't believe it. Her bizzare adventures delight children and confound health and safety.

41. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Charlie Bucket's adventures in Willy Wonka's factory - the chocolate rivers, the minia-tuarisation room, the Oompa Loompas - will live for ever.

42. Bambert's Book of Missing Stories by Reinhardt Jung
Shy Bambert sends his half-written stories into the world attached to balloons for whoever finds them to finish. Stories come back from all over the world, and the final story is heartbreaking.

43. The Firework-maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman
Lila's father doesn't want her to follow his career in fireworks so she must prove herself on an epic quest that takes in dragons and pirates.

44. Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce
As Tom lies in bed preparing for the most boring holiday of his life, the clock strikes 13. Racing downstairs he sees daylight and a beautiful
garden where there should be darkness. Incredibly exciting.

45. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
A bored young boy pushes his toy car through a toy tollbooth, and finds himself in the kingdom of Wisdom. Genius wordplay, slapstick and a real sense of fun.

46. The Silver Sword by Ian Serrallier
Just after the Second World War, a group of children navigate war-torn Europe armed with little more than a letter opener. Tense, demanding and adult.

47. Cue for Treason by Geoffrey Trease
After Peter Brownrigg chucks a stone at his landlord, he has to flee to London. Here he meets Shakespeare and uncovers a plot to kill Queen
Elizabeth. Tudor derring-do.

48. The Sword in the Stone by TH White
The trials of Arthur have never been more amusingly described. Merlin is the archetype for all dotty wizards.

49. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K LeGuin
LeGuin's fantasy lands are scrupulously realised, but it is emotional complexity that makes her books so engrossing. Here a young wizard has to come to terms with the destructive power of his magic.

50. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling
The third book may be the best in JK Rowling's series. All the usual Potter tricks are here, but the highlight is the Dementors, the terrifying
guards of Azkaban prison.

51. The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set by CS Lewis
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe isn't the only Narnia story worth reading. The Silver Chair is a powerful allegory of mental slavery; and
Voyage of the Dawn Treader sees a talking mouse paddle over the edge of the world.

52. His Dark Materials Box Set by Philip Pullman
Pullman's riposte to CS Lewis is a trumpet-blast against dogma - but, above all else, a gripping adventure.

53. The BFG by Roald Dahl
At the witching hour, a giant blows sweet dreams into children's bedrooms. When orphan Sophie sees him one night, he takes her to his cave. Beware whizzpoppers!

54. Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
Childcare used to be a bit less hands on ("Better drowned than duffers. If not duffers won't drown") and one cannot read the adventures of these four children in a lost Eden without a lump in the throat.

55. Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now by Lauren Child
At first glance one for the girls, but boys should read it too. Over the series Clarice has matured from an infant with a quirky vocabulary into a
complex, engaging teenager.

56. The Railway Children by E Nesbit
When their father is accused of treason, Bobbie, Peter, Phyllis and their mother move to the country. They pass the time watching trains go by and proving their father innocent, which is nice.

57. The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde
Wilde's giant wants to keep children out of his garden so that he can have it to himself. But it stays shrouded in snow until one day, when the
giant's hard heart is softened by one of the boys

58. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
One of the greatest books ever narrated by a horse, with a fine message: be kind to animals, and they'll be kind to you.

59. Just William by Richmal Crompton
The classic naughty schoolboy, William wages a gentle war of attrition against parental and teacherly authority.

60. Jennings Goes to School by Anthony Buckeridge
Catapults, grazed knees, and mischief of the best sort. Hogwarts may have revived our appetite for boys-school stories, but Jennings was there first.

61. Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson
Moomin is a peculiar fellow, but through him and his equally peculiar friends the Finnish author Tove Jansson explores the big issues: friendship, alienation, fear, loss and meteors from outer space.

62. The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
This magnificently black-hearted book introduced us to the Baudelaire children, orphaned in a fire and trying to keep one step ahead of the
predatory Count Olaf, who is after their inherited fortune.

Early teens

63. Call of the Wild by Jack London
Jack London introduced some dark themes into this story of Buck, a sled dog in the Yukon who rediscovers his wild nature when put to the test.

64. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
Never was mathematical and philosophical playfulness given such entertaining shape. Tenniel's line-drawings crown these classics.

65. The Outsiders by SE Hinton
This powerful novel about school gangs was published when SE Hinton was just 18. The Greasers and the Socs clash in typical teenage fashion - but then someone dies.

66. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
Smith is better known for A Hundred and One Dalmatians, but although this, her first novel, is quieter, it shines brighter. Narrated in diary form
by 17-year-old Cassandra, it documents the lives of her eccentric family.

67. The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken
1832, and wolves have over-run a fictional kingdom of England. Orphans Sylvia and Bonnie fall into the hands of an evil Miss Slycarp and must use all their wits to escape. A mercilessly shadowy thriller.

68. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
A classic story of America's Deep South. Scout and Jem see their father, Atticus, defend Tom Robinson - an innocent black man - from the charge of rape. Atticus is inspiring without being priggish.

69. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
The rousing story of Pip's rise, fall and rise pips Oliver Twist as the best book with which to start reading Dickens, purely on account of his
description of being in love.

70. The Owl Service by Alan Garner
Welsh myths, a portrait hidden behind a plaster skim, adolescent yearnings - read this extraordinary confection at the right age and it will never leave you.

71. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
Holmes in fine Gothic form: rackety aristocrats, the Grimpen Mire, and a glow-in-the-dark hellhound conspire to chill the blood and thrill the
deductive organs.

72. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
A novel that embeds itself in the memory, and set feminism back 150 years. The human genome has yet to produce a teenage girl who isn't a
sucker for Heathcliff.

73. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
On June 12, 1942, Annelies Marie Frank started writing a diary. It was her 13th birthday. She died three years later in Belsen. An ordinary
teenage life, made poignant by the knowledge of how it ended.

74. Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry by Mildred D Taylor
A tale of oppression in the American South, this tells the story of the Logans, a black family living in rural Mississippi during the 1930s.

75. A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry Hines
Filmed by Ken Loach as Kes, this snapshot of deprivation in 1960s Yorkshire describes a troubled boy's relationship with his pet kestrel.
Bittersweet and grimly artful.

76. The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
A wonderful curtain-raiser for The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit finds Tolkein in a playful mood. The adventures of Bilbo Baggins, while never
less than exciting, are spiked with gentle humour.

77. War Horse by Michael Morpurgo
Michael Morpurgo's moving story plunges into the horror of the First World War by following the story of Joey, a cavalry officer's horse on the Western Front.

78. Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo
Beowulf is a great story: scary monsters, fearsome matriarchs, boasting, singing, feasting, fighting and booty. Michael Morpurgo's rendition
brings it to a new generation.

79. King Solomon's Mines by H Rider Haggard
Hunter Allan Quatermain searches the African jungle. Its attitudes might be outdated but this is still terrifically exciting.

80. Kim by Rudyard Kipling
Kimball O'Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldier, wanders Lahore cadging, playing and living a carefree life - until he's forced into espionage.

81. The Road of Bones by Anne Fine
Anne Fine weaves a disturbing parable of life in a totalitarian state, as young Yuri learns the cost of speaking the truth.

82. Frenchman's Creek by Daphne Du Maurier
A swashbuckling love affair between a lady and a pirate on the Cornish coast. Romantic adventure at its overblown best.

83. Treasure Island by RL Stevenson
The riddles of Stevenson's tale endure. Why does X mark the spot? What is it with parrots? And why did Pugh go blind?

84. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The tale of four sisters - Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy - growing up in the US Civil War, this is a charming and insightful story of childhood and
family.

85. Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery
Spirited ginger-nut, adopted in error for a boy, comes of age on a remote island off the Canadian coast.

86. Junk by Melvin Burgess
Burgess's refusal to patronise teenagers has earned much praise. This tough, clear-eyed story of heroin addiction is among his best.

87. Cider With Rosie by Laurie Lee
A lyrical description of a childhood spent in rural bliss in the Cotswolds. This is a homage to England as it was, filled with light, joy, and fun.

88. The Go-Between by LP Hartley
More than a famous first line. When 60-year-old Leo Colston looks back on his youth in 1900, the nostalgia is stifling. But as the story develops, it takes a darker turn.

89. The Rattle Bag, ed by Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes
This rich anthology of poetry - whose name aptly describes the higgledy-piggledy mix of glories within - is something no teen's bookshelf should lack.

90. The Song of Hiawatha by H W Longfellow
Just say something in this rhythm. It will sound like Hiawatha. Read it to your horrid children. Hear them chant the verses loudly. On it goes ad
infinitum. Heaven help the hapless parent.

91. Watership Down by Richard Adams
Fiver and his brother Hazel know that something terrible will happen to the warren, and set off for safety. Their story has implications beyond the usual concerns of rabbits.

92. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Less ambitious than The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but just as exciting. The language is hard to begin with but the hero is one of the most endearing in literature.

93. True Grit by Charles Portis
Mattie Ross - spirited, witty, probably beautiful - is out to avenge her "father's blood" in this slim Western. It should be given to every girl
turning 16.

94. Holes by Louis Sachar
Sentenced to dig holes in the desert for stealing trainers, the wrongly convicted Stanley discovers that the holes are not so pointless as at first
thought. Wit dry as a salt flat.

95. Lord of the Flies by William Golding
When a gang of boys are marooned on an island they try to set up a community based on cooperation. Some hope.

96. My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell
When the Durrell family takes a villa in Corfu one summer they do not imagine staying five years, but so they do. In that time Gerald, a boy
of 10, discovers the joys of the local flora and fauna, and describes it with a delightful wit.

97. Coraline by Neil Gaiman
This spooky story won't soon be forgotten. Coraline is a girl who finds her way down a corridor to a flat just like her own - but slightly
different. And where her doting "other mother" has buttons for eyes�

98. Carrie's War by Nina Bawden
Carrie and her brother are wartime evacuees billeted on a bullying Welsh grocer. A wonderfully crafted novel full of memorable characters.

99. The Story of Tracy Beaker by Jacqueline Wilson
A slice of life in a children's home narrated by 10-year-old Tracy, through whose eyes we confront tough dilemmas. Required reading.

100. The Lantern Bearers by Rosemary Sutcliffe
As the Roman army prepares to leave for home, Aquila is forced to desert to protect his family.

I do not want to spill over on the second page with my lists, so this shall be my first official 'free of lists' post and I'm now up and running! I still need to work on my lists, though, they are far from finished, but I don't need to reserve any more space for them

Bring on 2013! :readingtwo:

vodkafan · December 25, 2012

Very organised Frankie! But I can see that a book can be on more than one list at the same time so not quite as daunting as first appears , but still a huge challenge. Good luck.

It's daunting when you've read a book that's on a lot of lists: you have to figure out all the places where it's included so you can crossed it off everywhere :rolleyes: :lol: Oh dear! But thanks

Alexi · December 25, 2012

Happy travels in literature in 2013 Frankie!
