The Phantom Tollbooth is one of my favorite books of all time. I can't remember when was the first time I read it, but I was young. Love Milo, love the philosophy, LOVE.
Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith are my two favorite Waters books. Affinity was okay, and the one about the war was interesting in how she did it. Plus her writing makes me stop and marvel at how well she uses words.
I got Miss Peregrine's for my new nook, so will be reading that probably on my trip.
See, I've kind of had this feeling that, by starting with Tipping the Velvet, I'd started with her best. I've been slow to pick up the rest of her stuff as a result, though she is so very talented. I think it's telling that her books are quite long, yet I never feel like any of her words are extraneous.
Miss Peregrine's... was quite enjoyable. Excellently atmospheric. I hope you like it!
