Concrete Island in the Bookshop

Concrete Island by J G Ballard

"I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen." -  J.G. Ballard

The Lord of the Rings by J R R Tolkien

"Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible..." - J.R.R. Tolkien
