top 9 books!

Tagged by the iconic @oatflatwhite to post a list of my top 9 books!! Not easy!! I ruled out poetry, non-fiction, anthologies, compendia, & reference to make it easier, so this is basically my 9 fave novels lol. TO THE LIST:

"Invisible Cities" ~ Italo Calvino

"The Eyre Affair" ~ Jasper Fforde

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" ~ Douglas Adams

"The Odyssey" ~ Homer

"Cain's Jawbone" ~ Torquemada

"Ella Minnow Pea" ~ Mark Dunn

"Look Who's Morphing" ~ Tom Cho

"The Puzzle Ring" ~ Kate Forsyth

"The Martian Chronicles" ~ Ray Bradbury

HONOURABLE MENTION: The Menelaiad (38pg short story) from the book "Lost in the Funhouse" by John Bath! I know I said no compendia but this story made me BSOD during my very first reading & I have not recovered yet 😊 thank u for yr understanding

#memes #oatflatwhite #Liz #I am loving these tag memes bestie 💕 #books #about #the main criterion behind my favourite books is 'am I having a good fun time reading this?' #a subset of which is 'delightful word fuckery' #as evidenced by items 2‚ 5‚ 6‚ & 10 #also I know I said no poetry & then put the Odyssey. let me refer u to my guy Ludwig Wittgenstein & his family resemblances #I rlly wanted to put Illuminae on this list purely on the basis of form but I haven't finished it yet :') #these books do all have one thing in common though #I read them thinking wow this is amazing!!! I didn't know u could do this with words!!! everything has changed now!!! #same with The Colour of Magic! but I had to cut the list somewhere lol
