Yep, a long time ago though. I remember loving them but couldn't name on right now without googling.

Crash is the first that comes to mind Xochi, but I would need to Google more.
Only read Crash and a collection of short stories. Crash inspired the song 'Warm Leatherette', interestingly enough!
I may have done, but it's a while since I,ve sat down and read anything! 
Never read one of his books, not really my cup of tea.

I also read Crash back in the seventies but struggled with, I think if I have the correct author, a book of stories.

I've always been intrigued as I have not read any of the books, but a few bands I like cite JG Ballard as an influence in their songwriting.

Haven't read the book, but crikey the film based on it was utter rubbish.
I haven't read any, but Crash sounds hideous.
PS. I'm reading the trilogy of Library of the dead by Glenn Cooper. These books must be the best researched I've ever read (apart from non-fiction).
