Authors I
love but couldn’t accommodate: Virginia Woolf, Arthur C Clarke, Tobias Smollett,
EM Forster.
Hopefully there are some oddities and surprises in the list, along with the predictable crowd-pleasers.
Also this
list ignores all the Doctor Who and associated
spin-off novels from the 1960s onwards, as choosing between those is just
impossible.
