Well, I do love them both, but if I were choosing one, I generally prefer the second. It's the David Haig one that really jumps out (genuinely challenging in terms of moral sympathy, I thought - I'd never really read anything like it at the time), but they're all fantastic.
Agreed. As if the writing of that one isn't superb enough, David Haig's portrayal in the TV production made it even more morally challenging. He's a very under-rated actor, in my opinion.
I probably should have put #10 on my list (and Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers - first book I'd ever read where the main characters don't appear until chapter 4).
I wanted to put a Doctor Who novel on my list - but I couldn't pick one. I toyed with Human Nature or Love and War for a while (Paul Cornell writes a beautiful Who book), but decided against it in the end. I haven't read The Dying Days - I hear it's excellent. And you've gotta love Virgin Books for...
