«1Q84» by Haruki Murakami
1Q84 is the sort of book you want to carry everywhere you go. Why? First, because the suspense is simply going to killing you. Second, it is gloomy, weird, critical and romantic at the same time. Third, Murakami's language is crystal clear, it's fantastic. – Alexandra Kohler

«Oranges are not the only fruit» by Jeanette Winterson
This book proved to me that it's possible not only to survive a childhood full of violence but to tell a story sui generis: luminiscent, stunning, overflowing with defiant, vigorous metaphors. After reading this book I found the courage to leave the cult I grew up in. I knew I wouldn't be lost. – Valerie Graf
