Singaporean Authors Recommend Their Favourite Books

DON BOSCO: I love edgy science fiction, and I like reading long form magazine features. This book is a great mix of the two styles. Crime reporting that reads like a dystopian science fiction thriller.

PETER DRAW: This is a timeless story that I enjoy, i recommend it to everyone

S MICKEY LIN: Reading a Murakami novel is unlike reading any other work and this is one of my favorites. His novels are filled with oddities, symbolisms, and motifs that make you feel as though you’re reading a lucid dream. It’ll transport you to an unfamiliar, but yet fascinating place.

DON BOSCO: Neal Stephenson started out writing futuristic science fiction thrillers, but then he changed course and created this epic tale of superhero-esque hacker-adventurers in the 1600s.

DON BOSCO: This is my main inspiration for classic Asian storytelling. There are lots of popular favourites here — like Sinbad and Aladdin — and the tales seem so playful and profound at the same time.
