Penguin Books has launched eight lists to celebrate its 90th birthday, to celebrate the books that have shaped its readers since the publisher started in 1935. The lists have been co-curated by authors, editors and cultural figures including Paloma Faith, Jacqueline Wilson and Nish Kumar. Each list comes with the opportunity for readers to vote for their favourite book and help create Penguin’s "Readers’ Choice" list, to be released on Penguin’s birthday on 30th July.

Top TipsTo make the tomato sauce: Heat 4 or 5 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. When it is hot but not smoking, throw in several sliced cloves of garlic; after a few seconds add 750g (1½ lb) of ripe skinned tomatoes, roughly chopped. Let them cook for about 3 minutes only. Season with salt and pepper, and then add a few coarsely chopped leaves of fresh basil, or failing that, some parsley. Next, why not try more aubergine recipes from the House & Garden archive?
