Well 25th February sees the 100th anniversary of the birth of Anthony Burgess one of the most influential writers of the last hundred years . He wrote from Sci fi , lit and historic fiction . From tales in Shakespeare’s day to the future and violent gangs Burgess had an impressive output I have tried to add his books over the years but when I saw the anniversary was near last year i decide to up my buying now having 26 novels two of those include the Malay trilogy and the enderby books adding to a total and 31 novels of the 35 he wrote also have two non fiction books his 99 novels and a book about language also a short story collection. With a month to go I plan from next month to read one a month for the next few years.
I expected more editions of Clockwork Orange in this pile. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the books
No only got one used have other copies but loaned out and never got back
That’s an impressive pile of books – good luck with them!
Reminds me to read Nothing like the Sun and Any Old Iron from my TBR piles.
I noticed it was 100 years since his birth and thought of you! He’s a varied writer so it shouldn’t get boring. I might join you next month as I have The Wanting Seed which I’ve long wanted to read.
