![]() Like Wyndham, apocalyptica always seems more real when it’s happening in the UK – and when it’s something as possible as a devastating plant virus. When someone asked me my favourite book, my snap answer is usually Triffids. ![]() The second time, I thought I was a frickin’ fool for putting it down the first time. The first time I picked it up, I stopped on about page 5. The only graphic novel on the list – I have a lot of favourite comics but this one makes it onto this list because the characters felt developed enough for a novel. I missed out “the” on some of them, not sure why, but I’ll be blowed if I’m renumbering everything now.) ![]() I wouldn’t even say it’s definitive as my choice in books depends heavily on mood and context but I can safely say these are books that I probably liked that afternoon, maybe. They’re just books that strike a chord or mean a lot to me for one reason or another, or frankly that I just enjoy and I (have and) will re-read every year or so. They’re not - by any means - the best 20 books ever written or the most important books to society in general, or anything like that. ![]() A few times over the last couple of weeks I’ve referred to different books being on my “favourite books list” – but yesterday I realised I’ve never sat down and worked out said list so, frankly, anything could be on there.Īs a result of that realisation, and in a bid to avoid doing anything actually useful, I decided to make the list of my top 20 favourite books yesterday afternoon. ![]()
