Anyone who can create a series of books called the Brentford Trillogy…......with 5 books gets my vote.
The Antipope was good, but my favourite one was the “brentford chainstore massacre”..................
Oh, did I mention I live in Brentford, where most of his books are based.

I love books! Here are some of my favourites - 'Hannibal Lecter Quadrilogy’ by Thomas Harris, 'El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha’ (or 'Don Quixote’) by Miguel de Cervantes, 'War and Peace’ by Leo Tolstoy, and 'The Picture of Dorian Gray’ by Oscar Wilde.
There are too many to name!

Also Bluesofty, the God of Small Things is one of my favourite. Have you read 'The Famished Road’? by Ben Okri. Thats brilliant as well
