Hi all. I’m about to go on holiday and thought it’s about time I should jump back into the world of books so I bought a kindle. There is no way I would describe myself as an avid reader at all but I have enjoyed writers, books & series like:
* Philip K Dick: Do Androids Dream/Scanner Darkly
* Kurt Vonnegut: Sirens of Titan/Mother Night
* Discworld
* Hitchhiker’s Guide
* Catch-22
* 1984
Last holiday I also finished A Game of Thrones. Current reading rate is about 1 per year. More generally I’m an avid gamer (love games like Dark Souls & Zelda). TV/films wise I adore comedy like satire (Thick of It, Yes Minister, South Park) and surreal (Monty Python).
I’m sure there are a huge number of other novels to go at but I am just not sure where to start. I certainly have one or two that have been flagged to me like The Chrysalids but I’m also very interested in a novel which might take me somewhat out of the sci-fi/fantasy/comedy reading rut I’ll probably re-tread. TIA
