You've often held movie nights on a Friday, complete with feet up and a tub of ice cream or popcorn. Well, for those alone on a Friday night or just wishing to cuddle up, the book is also a good choice. But what to read? Friday nights are special and demand indulgence.
There is something about Friday nights that require silliness, shock, horror, wild imagination and all things fun. Slasher thrills, off-the-wall fantasy, explosive action, deadly scrapes, mind bending science are all in order.
It takes a special something to match the mood of a Friday night, whether in movies, books or games, so I thought I'd pick out a few favourites that I'd recommend for a great Friday night in.
Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Grunts by Mary Gentle
The 13½ Lives Of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers
The Nightside series by Simon R Green
Keeping It Real by Justina Robson
Nekropolis by Tim Waggoner
Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey
Enjoy!
