Bit of a late entry in the favourite books category, but here's a go. Who is it/the book ?

Maybe Tanja's is 'Lady of the Camellias.' No idea for Jim's.

Oh, I see from Googling that in English-speaking countries a completely different book cover motif is used for this novel. If I type in this novel in English, completely different book cover motifs appear! so it is almost impossible to find out.... ok, But I will give you a little hint: "Sigmund Freud" would have enjoyed it. I can't crack Lewis' book:)

I was pretty sure Tanja's was Lady of the Camelias, but I'm wrong.  Still wondering about Skylar's.  I initially wondered if it was Logan's Run, the sci-fi novel where everybody dies at 30.  But the clues lead away from that. Tanja...Andrew's already got my book...Spike Milligan's 'Adolf Hitler- my part in his downfall.'  The first of a series of funny books about his time in the army (funny if you like Spike's humour, that is.)

Bit of a wild guess for Tanja’s.  How about ‘Chocalat’

I’m stuck on Tanja’s as well, but here’s one more from me - hopefully not quite as obvious as my others, although I expect someone will get it fairly quickly.  Easy if you know the book - or maybe even if you don’t!

How about 'The moon's a balloon', David Niven's book about Hollywood.
