Fantastic Book, one of the best I've ever read.

Amlux (plasma_birds) | 2 comments Yay! Glad for the replies! And yes, generally when I need to choose one book as my all-time favorite I go for The Box Man.

Nate D (rockhyrax) | 17 comments That's a fantastic list. I've read 12 of them (many of which I'd include in my own top lists, or substitute another from the same author), andintend to read many more. Definitely noting down the ones I'd not heard of. I'm also glad to see the graphic works in here.
