Favourite Books Of Mine
VurtVurt by Jeff Noon
Buy new: £2.39 / Used from: £0.83
This is such a legend of a book! I'm afraid to read it a second time in case I don't enjoy it as much! I've been totally obsessed about keeping the cover pristine too!
Dark MoonDark Moon by David Gemmell

My personal favourite of David Gemmells Novels. Such a loss now he has gone :-(

You can't really read one of these without reading the others, so I had to put the quartet in here! A brilliant olde-worlde saga with wizards, mages, dragons and the like.
The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time)The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan
Buy new: £5.21 / Used from: £0.01
I'm in love with all of Jordans Wheel Of Time series, so I have just included the first one in this list. Possibly the longest saga ever...? An incredibly huge and in-depth world
The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Bk. 1 (Dark Tower)The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Bk. 1 (Dark Tower) by Stephen King
