My favourite Books

[The Choonies]

I'm in a big reading phase and would like some suggestions but first let me tell you of a few of my favourites broken into 4 catagories.

My short story - The Snow Goose by Paul Gallico a short but beautifully written story

 

My favourite novel - Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I’ve read this book many times but make sure you read the original version as later versions were re-written to give a different ending for the American market.

For a book based on facts - A Song for Nagasaki

The Story of Takashi Nagai a Scientist, Convert, and Survivor of the Atomic Bomb. It was quite a story.

And the author who inspired me to read was the great Scottish writer John Buchan and the first book I read was Prester John, followed by Greenmantle. He is most remembered for The 39 Steps. Again there are 2 versions - the original and the Hitchcock movie version
