...My favourite books ever. Well, 'Titus Groan' and 'Gormenghast' although I'm partial to 'Titus Alone' sometimes - though I wasn't very keen on Titus leaving Gormenghast, even if it was the best move he ever made.
Any fellow admirers out there? Or seen the TV series, which was fine, except they gave an excuse to why Steerpike was Evil and he was far too attractive. And I have never seen such a bright sunny Gormenghast!
I have also seen a cracking physical theatre adaptation over here in the UK, performed by the great David Glass Ensemble. Condensed the two novels into two hours somehow, but it worked fantastically.
Must pick up and read it for the third time..... hmmmm....
