8. Book that changed your life
It would have to the the colour of magic by Terry Prachett, it’s not of his best by a long shot but when I first read it I didn’t read much. This is the book that made me realise how much fun it is to lose yourself in a good book.

Mark,
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating. I have yet to read quite a lot of Neil Gaiman's work, but of all the stuff I have read, Anansi Boys is my favourite. It never seems to crop up on anyone else's favourite list. I have read Neverwhere as well, but Anansi Boys absorbed me the most.
