Classic: Far from the Madding crowd - Thomas Hardy.
Beautifully written describing a classic class divide romance in a far simpler time.

Modern: My legendary girlfriend - Mike Gayle.
New Teacher discovers he hates kids; teaching; London etc. And hankers for 'the one that got away' to the point of laughable lunacy.
Wonderful.

Factual: An evil cradling - Brian Keenan.
University lecturer from Ireland goes to Lebanon to teach only to get caught and captured by a militant group at the start of the civil war during the 90's.
Not for the feint of heart. Occasionally quite visceral. Exhausting to read but fantastically written.

Autobiography: Absolute pandemonium - Brian Blessed.
