    I’ve only just discovered your channel today but it’s great so I’m listening to your videos while I draw. I was genuinely suprised that you didn’t have at least a thousand subscribers.
    My top 5 books:
    - Paradise Lost (John Milton)
    - Dracula (Bram Stoker)
    - Dimension of Miracles (Robert Sheckley)
    - The History of Mr Polly (H.G. Wells)
    - The First Men in the Moon (H.G. Wells)
    With an honourable mention to all of Chekhov’s short stories.

      omg this is so sweet thank you💕 so happy to see Dracula on there! I’ve been meaning to get to H. G. Wells for a while, any suggestions for where to start?

      @@nikkisbooks_‘The first men in the moon’ would be great, it’s pretty short but I found it very immersive. ‘The island of Dr Moreau’ is also good, it’s easy to read and very unsettling at times (in a good way).
      His less famous books are also amazing, he wrote a lot of social commentary. If you’re more interested in that than the sci-fi, I’d suggest ‘Kipps’, or ‘the history of Mr Polly’.
      But really you can’t go wrong with any of his works.
