I'll check out The Book of Strange New Things for sure.

Day of the Triffids was read to me when I was a kid but it might be worth a revisit. All I remember is that it was good.

I read the sequel to Dark Eden, Mother of Eden last week. Really enjoyed it although it wasn't what I was expecting. The third and last one is coming out in October so I'll probably read that as well... Never really done the whole sequel thing with books before.

I always dismissed Day of the Triffids after seeing a little bit of the black and white BBC version. Picked up the book in a charity shop and read it in an entire sitting. The Kraken Wakes, Chocky, The Midwich Cuckoos, he's done some great stuff.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of the only sequels I've really done that (surprisingly) just got better and better.

I'd seek out the later BBC version of DotT - bleak and atmospheric. You can really tell Danny Boyle drew a lot of inspiration from it for 28 days later.
