Draw inspiration from the world of fiction Bridget Jones's Diary was inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice — and gave Colin Firth the chance to double-dip as Mr Darcy.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas AdamsFilms you can quote for cheap giggles down the pub; records (vinyl, natch) earn you kudos among a select coterie of like-minded obsessives; but nothing – absolutely nothing – says understated cool (always the coolest cool) like a well-thumbed copy of A Confederacy of Dunces.

Lewis Worst of all though, even Tracey seems to be losing heart. She doesn't sing like she used to, and she was crying when she came in a moment ago. Lets face it, Robbie, if Tracey thinks you're not going to make it, then things are not looking good, not good at all. Keep it relevant: Your book title must have some relevance to your storyline or plot. Don’t go completely off-topic, by giving your book a title that just sounds, ‘cool’, but has no meaning behind it. For instance, you wouldn’t want to read a story called Forbidden Dragons that has no references to dragons in the story at all – How disappointing would that be!In Notes From a Small Island, Bill Bryson shares a hilarious commentary of his jaunt through the United Kingdom – from the center of government at Downing Street, London, to the Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. 35. Vagabonding by Rolf Potts If you’re looking for interesting books to read, Sapiens should be on your list. It details the development of human beings from the earliest stages until now. The author also shows how our current world systems will banish natural selection and adaptation. 38. Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela If you wanted to get something off your chest or initiate a conversation with a stranger, but you didn’t have the courage, then put it to paper and see where your imagination takes you — hopefully to your next book idea! A literary fiction story about personal growth (Three of Pentacles): the protagonist withdraws from daily life (The Hermit) and embarks on a new adventure (The Fool).

The impending arrival of Frank’s brother Eric, who has escaped from an asylum, coupled with Franks bursts of mindless anger, create an unsettling gothic horror. A version of Don Quixote in which the main character travels across the United States instead of Spain.
