It's amazing how a half forgotten Victorian novel can be so contemporary and so dated. Veganism, technophobia, the role of religion, science, and education, colonialism, race, moral and physical weakness, all explored and discussed in their contradictions by an author who is clearly full of doubts.
Thought-provoking.
Complex.
Unexpected.Erewhon, Samuel Butler
8/10

Original, intriguing, beautiful characters, but strangely unengaging.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Muriel Spark

Engrossing book, great characters, thought-provoking, thoroughly enjoyable.
There are a few stereotypes, and it is a bit dated, but still great.The Constant Gardener, John le Carre'

Fitting in a quick hopefully easy read with Juno Dawson’s Her Majesty’s Royal Coven. Seems like quite a zippy take on an urban fantasy British setting. Reminiscent in some ways of Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London and Charles Stross’s Laundry series. I think the Royal Coven book series has recently been optioned for a TV series version. #books #reading #fantasy #urbanFantasy #JunoDawson #RoyalCoven #HMRoyalCoven #BritishBooks #TVadaptations #RiversOfLondln #TheLaundry #Bookstodon
