44 off the first and 55 off the second. Glad to see you have read The Red Tent as I remember reccomending that for you last Christmas. And I have read quite a few Dickens but not Great Expectations so does that count? I must look for a list of authors one should read rather than specific titles.

Four Letters of Love was powereful- I lived in the village for a while in my head. Poisonwood bible is a close second favourite for me. Totally creeped your blog last night, and you are way too modest about your writing abilities/self-expression. It’s a 3D blog.

Scott- i would have expected nothing less from you. There are so many books I would have on a top list that are not here, maybe I should do a new blog and see what people recommend as their top reads
Four letters of love by Niall Williams would be on my list for sure

Have read most of them. I workedin/ran a bookshop for 12 tears, so loving reading was important.
I think you’d like two books. To Kill a Mockingbird is my favourite book ever. Stunning story. And the other is Skallagrigg, by William Horwood. Both magical in a normal way.

Hah! Exactly 28 off both, with a very small overlap. Odd that. Not many of the books I read would be on something like these lists, fair number of populist fantasy book though – guess I can’t be surprised after HP’s success.

Surprised that something like Dune is doubly represented as sci-fi when something like Larry Niven’s The Mote In God’s Eye is out there.
