READING

“I don’t read in order to study the craft; I read because I like to read” - Stephen King

I’ve been reading books for as long as I can remember. While science fiction and fantasy were my mainstays as a youngster, more thrillers, dramas, historical fiction novels, and non-fiction titles entered my reading list as time passed.

Favourite Novels

It isn’t easy to pick a favourite, but if I had to, it would be from this list (not in any particular order):

  • Magician - Raymond E. Fiest
    and the sequels, Silverthorn & Darkness at Sethanon

  • Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett <<< Probably my favourite

  • Shike - Robert Shea

    The Godfather - Mario Puzo

  • Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien

  • The First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - Stephen R. Donaldson
    Lord Foul's Bane, The Illearth War, The Power that Preserves

  • Dune - Frank Herbert

  • Shogun - James Clavell

  • Hyperion - Dan Simmons
    and Fall of Hyperion, Endymion & Rise of Endymion
