Just Because I've Been Invited...

Two of my favourite books (I just wanted to get this in while I was thinking about it) are Patrick Susskind's Perfume and Pigeon (Henry chasing the pigeons reminded me). Patrick Susskind's mind is amazing. Perfume is about a man whose sense of smell was so finely honed he became a perfumier able to recreate almost any scent and after becoming obsessed with a woman he became a murderer. The main character is unlike any other type of man you'll have ever encountered in a book before. Sounds rather dull but believe me it's anything but. Pigeon is about another man with an unhealthy obsession with the pigeons living on the windowsill of his apartment block.
