Gormenghast Trilogy
OK. I'm going to clarify that I really liked the FIRST TWO books of this trilogy ... and didn't bother with book three. Mervyn Peake was a wonderful describer - he could describe the same mountains from three angles and it would just make them that bit more 3-D ... if you could be bothered reading to the end of the description. I admit, I often skipped.However, the cast of characters is delightful. I LOVED Steerepike (of course, this may have been helped by my picturing Jonathan Rhys Meyers from when he played the role in the BBC production, but, no, I think the character was awesome). I don't think I've sympathized with a bad dude quite so much ... hmm ... should read this again for inspiration. I didn't, however, like Titus. He bored the shit out of me (no, not literally). He was dull in the TV show, he was dull in the book. So, when I saw the title of book three ("Titus Alone") I was put off going further. Still ... those first two books, yes, I'd say "read 'em", they're fun.
