Sure, you say that now... Craig Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 03:09:10 AM
As for books that "touched" me - well, that would be a very specific criterion, by my definition. I'm not really quite sure how I would go about answering that.

But, perhaps it would help to tell you some books that I never seem to tire of reading? If so, I've got a bit of a list I could give you...

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Blankets by Craig Thompson
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
