Trying to accumulate a reading list of books that are about or heavily feature towers. Towers of any kind are welcome! So far I’ve got:
- The Two Towers – Tolkien
- Shock Doctrine- Naomi Klein
- Annihilation- Jeff Vandermeer
- Babel- RF Kuang
- Let the Great World Spin- Colum McCann
- The Tower- Yeats
- The Gormenghast Novels- Mervyn Peake
- A Paradise Built in Hell- Rebecca Solnit
I haven’t read all of these, some are suggestions from friends based on the prompt. What would you add to this list?
