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.

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.
