I’ve always wanted to do one of those classic animal stories that make people cry, so this is like that…Disney with fangs
Yesterday[1] I did my top films of 2005, today I guess it is time for my top reads of the year.
- In no special order, my top reads of this year:
- Iron Council by China Mieville - This is just a great read. I’ve enjoyed his other books, but they normally take a while to get through. I flew through this one. Loved the golems, and while I didn’t have any characters to love, I was interested in them all. I’m still undecided about the ending.
We3 a graphic novel by Grant Morrison & Frank Quietly - You’ll have to read this for yourself to get it because telling you that it is a sort of Homeward Bound meets Robocop would probably put you off. Not too sure about the proposed film adaption though.- Going Postal by Terry Pratchett - Another great addition to the Discworld ‘verse, this book introduces the character of Moist Von Lipwig. Hi-larious reading.
Only three books because I’m often harder on books than films, but also because I haven’t really been doing a lot of reading this year.
