Other than The Collector it's the best of the lot! Just a reminder - The Magus is the one set on Spetses and the magus, himself, is a character called Conchis who, during WWII had to make a moral decision that there is really no right answer to.

The first two of these complaints are things that Fowles was himself very aware of - this was his first novel (though The Collector was published first), and it has a feel throughout it that Fowles was out to impress. He says in the introduction to the edition that I read that he ... I just finished Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates. It was.... weird, Grotesque.
I also read The Collector by John Fowles. I'm glad i read it before seeing the movie. It was a great book! I loved it.
Tonight I'm starting on The Time Traveler's Wife. I've heard it was great! ... Daniel Webster by Benet, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Irving, The Graveyard Book by Gaiman and I agree with Fowles' The Collector. Creepy guy. I was going to suggest The Collector but Jodyreadseverything beat me to it. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James would also make a good discussion for a book group. The Collector by John Fowles gave me the creeps and I second DrNeut on his suggestons of Drood and Let The Right One In. Although I haven't finished Drood yet.
And for a sense of things slowly creeping to a nasty end I can recommend A kind of intimacy by Jenn Ashworth, nothing ... 70. Shakespeare: The World as Stage, Bill Bryson

Following Fred ... hey everyone....how is your July read going?....finished The Collector By John Fowles tonight. Definitely not the type of book or genre that I enjoy. Extremely creepy and disturbing.
pj77 Finished The Collector By John Fowles tonight. This is definitely not my type of book. I read it as part of the genre challenge (psychological suspense), but I had to push myself to keep going and cannot say I enjoyed it. I can acknowledge that it is well written etc., but it is not the type of ... Booksloth recommended The Collector to me and I lost hours to it and well worth the time it was too.

The Magician's Wife by Brian Moore ... I completely agree on The Collector being amazing, it is disturbing and dark but very gripping and sticks in your head long after you've finished it.

While we're on Fowles-The Collector was really well done. Terence Stamp does creepy/confused in a way that you're almost on his side. Just finished The Collector and would recommend it to others, especially if you want a fairly short, easy read featuring a very warped and compelling main character. Here are mine:

Ooooh, I read The Collector for my reading list in high school and I really enjoyed it! Happy reading! ^^ The Collector by John Fowles.

I loved The Collector when I read it back in the 60s or 70s. I also loved The Magus, though it is not universally appreciated by everyone on LT. I read both after The French Lieutenant's Woman, which, though I enjoyed it, I didn't find as compelling as the others for some reason. I've just read The Collector by John Fowles because Booksloth recommended it to me here on LT. I have to say, it really is good, I wish I had found it ages ago.
It was published in 1963 and is all the better for being so different to the way it might be if it was just being published in 2008 ...
