'The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one' - Oliver Goldsmith

The Sheep Look Up is one of the best and most disturbing books I've read this year.
It was your review that led me to it! In fact, a few of the books I've bought recently have been influenced by your reviews :)
I don't think you can go wrong with any of those, to be honest.
