The 50 best winter reads

The Independent complied a list of the fifty best winter reads.

One title on the list:

Blood's a Rover

'At long last, the final volume in James Ellroy's gut-punching Underworld USA saga,' says Maxim [Jakubowski]. 'Staccato style, a gallery of grotesques, puppets of fate and pitiful anti-heroes, and a sharp dissection of recent US history all make this an indispensable take no hostages guide to a descent into hell and further. Breathless stuff.'

Read about the other 49 books on the list.
