My first was Thief of Time and it's still my favourite
Definitely second this, Hogfather's a great Christmas book. The other one I'd recommend is
The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder. It's just magical. My mum read it to me when I was a kid and I actually cried when it ended, not because it was sad, but because I wanted there to be more book
As for me, two I'll definitely be reading are
The Scar by China Mieville and
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I'll probably read my next TP book as well which is
The Last Continent and some of my other paper books, before I get my Kobo at Christmas. And I'll definitely have to finish
Catch-22 - went home to my mum's about three months ago and left it there, so only got about 100 pages in. After I get my Kobo, one of the first books I plan on reading for it is
Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. I've really wanted to read them for ages but the size (both of the books and the series) put me off, as I've only got wee hands, and not a lot of spare time. Making it my project for the next year though!
