Your Favourite Novels and Their Authors
Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2019 7:54 pm
I originally intended to start a thread of this nature way back in August 2018, but never got around to publishing it. Here's my second attempt.
One of my favourite novels of all time is called The Crusader by Michael Eisner. It was published in 2003 and it is (I think) the only novel he ever wrote. It's about a Spanish crusader knight who returns with PTSD from the Holy Land and slowly reveals his harrowing story to a monk over a long period of time, through a series of discussions they have. It has a really gripping story and fantastic character development. I picked it up from a Waterstones bookshelf one day (probably in 2003), read the first page, found myself hooked and bought it right away. To this day it remains one of the best novels I've ever read, and most successful impulse purchases I've ever made. Strange that the author never wrote anything else, but there you have it. I have read it twice.
The Lord of the Rings is, of course, a classic and I am totally in love with the story, the prose style and the fictional world in which the story takes place. I am on my second read-through.
