2021 Retrospective – my 5 favourite books
A post about my Top 5 books this year with some spoilers and links to longer reviews.
Bernard Cornwell – Rebel
A short appreciation of Cornwell’s 1993 novel, the first in the Starbuck Chronicles series set during the American Civil War.
3 Graphic Novels by Alan Moore
A short appreciation of Alan Moore’s graphic (sometimes very graphic) novels – Providence, Neonomicon and the rather better known – From Hell.
David Mitchell – Utopia Avenue
A ramble about David Mitchell’s latest book, now out in the UK in paperback.
Bernard Cornwell – Scoundrel
A quick ramble about the short thriller published in 1992.
Bernard Cornwell – Stormchild
A quick look at Bernard Cornwell’s fourth nautical thriller. First published in 1991 and showing all its 30 years of age.
Stephen Fry – Troy
Troy is everything I had been hoping for after reading Stephen Fry’s other Greek mythology books – Mythos and Heroes.
Stephen King – On Writing
On Writing is half autobiography and half book of advice on how to write. His toolbox might not suit everyone wanting to write a novel but you should read it anyhow.
