willlord blippd Command & Conquer
Pure unadulterated nonsense in the best possible sense. Nothing beats building up an elaborate army before throwing it all away in a blaze of stupidity. =D. -
willlord blippd Layer Cake
Pretty charmless stuff. Deeply unsympathetic characters and lacking the humour of, say, Lock Stock or the politics of The Long Good Friday. =|. -
willlord blippd Generation X
Changed the way I saw the world when I read it as a kid. Still love it now. It's incredible to see how much of it entered common language and society. =D. -
willlord blippd The Gum Thief: A Novel
I'm a big Coupland fan but this didn't really do it for me. Felt like going over the same old territory. Still very well written though. =|. -
willlord blippd JPod: A Novel
Okay, so its pretty insular and if you haven't read Microserfs then a lot of the resonance will be lost but I still loved it. =D. -
willlord blippd Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)
If you must read a children's series there are better options out there. Pick up A Series of Unfortunate Events or His Dark Materials. Better in every way. =|. -
willlord blippd The Lord of the Rings
If you can make it past the first 250 pages (where essentially nothing happens) then you'll be rewarded with the finest fantasy novel ever written. Fair deal? =). -
willlord blippd The Hobbit
Loved it as a kid. If you can't face LOTR yet then this is a good intro to Tolkien's world. =|. -
willlord blippd Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Remember life before JarJar Binks? =D. -

willlord blippd The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: Or the Murder at Road Hill House
A history book that reads like a thriller. Interesting to see how little the tabloids have changed over the years... =D.
