This Twitter Thread Can Sort Your Reading List For Months

One of my favourite authors.

Novelist Sidin Vadukut asked Twitter to recommend one work of fiction. It turned into a great crowdsourcing exercise--in minutes, the thread turned into a roll-call of literary excellence.

Twitter users highly rated the works of JRR Tollkien, Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut and Arthur C Clarke; Joseph Heller's World War 2 Satire Catch 22 got the most number of recommendations on the Twitter thread.

So tell me this. If you could recommend just one fiction book that everyone must read what would it be? Just one fiction. Fire away. #1Book
