I was tagged to ask my Favourite book and why…..
I figure that the “why” is rather subjective, so I’ve listed my top 5 (That I can remember)…. for no reason other than I can… and yes, they are in order of preference.
1. Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks
2. American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis
3. The Lord of The Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
4. Making History - Stephen Fry
5. A Bridge Too Far - Cornelelius Ryan (Non Fiction)
Of course there could be hundreds more…. But these are simply brilliantly written.
