I liked the bit where he found his dream job in the apple orchard. Still brings a lump to the throat. |
Lol! |  |

253 by Geoff Ryman.
253 pages, each with 253 words, relating to 253 characters on a tube train. It's brilliant.
I'd send you my copy if you'd like to read it. |  | | |

Non fiction. Mandela by Anthony Sampson.
Fiction. The Magus by John Fowles.
I dare say some nostalgia at work here as it's been a while. |
The Magus is my favourite book ever - need to read it again soon... |  | | |

The Loneliness of the Long Distance runner and other stories, Alan Sillitoe is a dark and morbid writer but this book is a brilliant collection of short stories. |  | | |

Or Along Came a Spider, the book is much much better than the film, as always. | | | |

By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept by Elizabeth Smart.
For anyone who's ever been in a triangular relationship; no better description of love, ever. Beautifully written (sometimes described as a prose poem). Has the advantage of being extremely short! |  |

Catch-22. Incredible.
But if you're after something non-fiction, anything Foucault. The breadth and depth of his work is awe-inspiring. How he thinks and writes is on another level entirely. |  |

Did the French Lieutenant's Woman for A-Level but yet to read any more Fowles. Been 'getting around to it' for ages and was thinking of doing The Collector first but now feel very silly. | |

The film had a huge influence on me/my mind/my thinking when I saw it back in the day, quite haunting really, but I can't remember why! Maybe the idea that we should take nothing as gospel "truth"? Can't remember if I read the book to the end afterwards - iirc, I found that quite hard going - been meaning to re-read it for years, maybe this is the time! | |

I can't pretend to have read much of his stuff mate, but the magus was genius.
I remember struggling with Daniel Martin. I wasn't ready. | |

Now on this payday's book-buying binge list anyway. Plus am finally getting a load of A.A. Gill books too. Love him or loathe him but his writing is amazing. | |
