I'm now concentrating my attentions on The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham and really enjoying it. It's far better than I remember the early 1960s movie being. I understand the BBC did a mini series as well for television, but I haven't seen that.

I really enjoyed the (original 1980's) TV series when it first aired, though I'm not sure it would stand the test of time as the effects would look pretty amateurish now, I think.
I read the Day of the Triffids not that long ago too, for about the 5th or 6th time, and then followed it up with The Night of the Triffids by Simon Clark, in which Bill's son takes up the story. Quite fun, and written in the style of Wyndham, though not as good, inevitably.
