Picking a top ten fiction is hard! I’m going to need to ponder a bit.
I love the Arthur Ransome mention! I don’t think I ever read that one as a child. Need to rectify!
24 hours in and we've already got over 100 individual books! 
Keep the lists coming though!

It sparked a happy memory with me as well. To the extent I just downloaded the first one, Swallows and Amazons and its only 73p on Kindle!

I'm struggling with my list despite having written down every book I've read since 1996 
partly because I seem to read more non fiction than novels but also because I can't bloody remember the books when I look at the list

OMG I squealed with joy when I saw you!
Oh wait, did it have to be novels only? I included a non fiction, and possibly a memoir too.I'm struggling with my list despite having written down every book I've read since 1996

I did intend for it to be novels but I don't think I made that clear enough so it's basically a free for all now
I ignored non-fiction for myself because that would have made the whole thing even harder!
Oh feck me, sorry sorry, mea culpa, should I revise? If I’m the only one, I don’t mind fixing it.I did intend for it to be novels but I don't think I made that clear enough so it's basically a free for all now

2. The Road - Cormac McCarthy
Then in no particular order:
The Help - Kathryn Stockett
One Day - David Nicholls
The Nightingale - Kristin Hannah

No, you're not the only one.
It's my fault, really. Don't revise your list, it's fine.
Struggling to get my list to 10.
Wrote with my memory and then read some on here and I feel they need to go on the list.
Am also trying to ensure that I have a range of authors as I do think everything Victoria Hislop or Elif Shafak has written would be in my list!
