Favourite books?

hypercolius

Hi, I wanted to start this thread to share what our favourite books are!

Here are mine:

Favourite overall: Life and Death: Twilight reimagined (Meyer). I love romantic novels. Love, theoretically was also excellent as was Love hypothesis :) 

Favourite non-fiction: Assyria: The rise and fall of the world's first empire (Frahm). This caused a massive, obsessive hyperfocus on learning about Assyria when I'm just an astrophysicist!

  • There are just so very many as reading and collecting books is my main hobby now. I like to read first editions and signed if possible but for some authors this is too expensive. Heres a snapshot off the top of my head this morning 


    Fiction:

    George Orwell - Nineteen Eighty Four

    Hilary Mantel - Bring Up the Bodies

    Isaac Asimov - Foundation plus Foundation and Empire, plus Second Foundation. ie The Foundation Trilogy

    Non Fiction:

    Sylvia Plath - Ariel

    Nigel Nicolson - Portrait of a Marriage. [which is that of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson]

    Joan Didion - The White Album
