akmenon's "Some of my favourite books"

Add to my lists | Print this list

It is never easy to say what elevates a book from being ‘great’ to a ‘favourite’ in my eyes – it is quite often due to the smallest details that I happen to notice, and sometimes there is no explanation whatsoever apart from the ‘feel’ of the work. The following list is therefore somewhat idiosyncratic at times, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Those Barren Leaves (British Literature Series)
