I just finished The Chrysalids by John Wyndham and loved it. He seems to have written quite a lot of books. Which should I try next?
I was looking at The Midwich Cuckoos and possibly The Day of the Triffids.

@BunnyRuddington. It's still 99p on Kindle. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002RI9N1U/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

The day of the Triffids from your two choices, but agree with other Lichen is a fabulous book.

Trouble with Lichen is one of my favourites. It was 99p on Kindle last week, so I got it for DS. Wish I'd know that. It's about the only book of his I've never read.

Definitely those two next, and the Kraken Wakes. The Chrysalids is my favourite though.

The Chrysalids by John Wyndham

its the only book Ive read twice

Any of his! They're all brilliant. Obvs Triffids and Cuckoos, they're his well know ones. Also The Kraken Wakes.

Trouble With Lichen is another one.

And The Midwich cuckoos! I remember watching Village of the Damned as a child and then reading Midwich, it's much better than the film.

I love Triffids and Chocky.
