Very nice! I sometimes find it difficult to stick to reading regularly (like currently...). But, I mostly read of a night time before sleep, since I find that the most convenient time.
I've been currently reading through The Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and illustrated by Chris Riddell
Do you mostly read scifi books or a bit of everything? The Lathe of Heaven sounds interesting.
One of may favourites is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
Neverwhere is awesome. I’m a huge fan of Gaiman. American Gods may be one of the best books I’ve ever read.
I’ve heard a lot about American Gods and I’ve wanted to read it since the first time I heard about it.
It's a really good novel. Another Gaiman classic. It was disappointing to see what they did to the short-lived TV show.
I watched the show before I knew it was based off of a book. I've been wanting to read it for a while, but it's been in my backlog since. I'll need to try get around to it... I'm flying to Norway on the 17th, I might try nab it before then
I read a little of everything to be honest, and right now I’m making an active effort to read more sci-fi/fantasy because I love the genre.
I haven’t read those yet. I will!
Also gonna recommend the Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy of Five if you haven't read Douglas Adams's masterpiece; different kind of book to what's mentioned but it's still nominally science fiction and is more importantly just huge fun.
I’ve read those, I agree they are so fun.
If you haven't seen them, yet. Chris Riddell's illustrations of Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass are beautiful. Just reread both books with my 5 year old for the first time in years.
Ooo! Ill need to check it out! I love his illustrations and I think that would work fantastically with Alice in Wonderland
I bought another copy of Neverwhere illustrated by Chris Riddell earlier this year 😅
