Our Top Picks
 |
Nicolas Dickner's pick: Pattern Recognition By William Gibson |
| "This is a powerful example of what an SF writer can achieve when looking at our present world, depicting it in a fascinating and unbalancing way. Overwhelmingly intelligent, and sharply written." | |
 |
Flannery Dean's pick: Wuthering Heights By Emily Brontë |
| "I have read this book a thousand times and I will read it another thousand times. Wuthering Heights is ruthless and idealistic. It is perpetually misunderstood. I want to write a book about this book." | |
 |
Marina Endicott's pick: Where You Came From By Sara O'Leary |
| "It talks wild and free about the origin of self to the smallest of children, and the one reading out loud will love it too. With beguiling illustrations by Julie Morstad." | |
