Tell us about your favourite books.....and why they are so good
Well tough shit on those of you who don't read very much. I have to read all the crap from other qotws where I have very little to input as I won't just make up some old bollocks. (Also I don't get out much)

Favourites and why was the question so that's what you are getting. This is just a bare sampling, if I listed every book I ever read we'd be here till next Christmas.

If you want
I could post my masters dissertation but that does seem a bit outside the scope of the question.

Oh dude. You really should have kept your keyboard closed.

i would, but other people talking about their favourite books is like people telling you about their dreams.
i read an inordinate amount. for example, i've just started 'the kindly ones' as recommended by someone here this week. but hey, nobody really cares about that but me, right?

oh, but thanks for taking the opportunity to point out that you have a master's degree.

You're very welcome
Not much more now in any case, Some non-fiction, biographies, maybe some SF although that's been pretty well covered already and what academics condescendingly label ephemeral fiction.

All this attention, however, may go to my head and we can do sports books, underground comics, science, history and many more.

(Probably not though)

Fuck me. It's professor self awareness.

rather raises the question of what you expected
When the question was Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good.

and another thing
If you are so deeply uninterested in hearing about the which and the why of other folks bibliophila then how is it you have taken a recommendation on that basis?

Logically inconsistent?

because some people can just say 'this is a good book'
without doing 'my literary thoughts, part the 8th'
