I read Day of the Triffids last year. First time in print, though I'd seen the old UK video series, and listened to an old UK radio series. I also read Night of the Triffids by Simon Clark, which turned out to be a rotten sequel. Since the book is set 25 years later, most people are sighted, so the danger of the triffids was ratcheted up by having them evolve in different ways. Frankly ludicrous ways, several times.
