It is quite good so far but does have a few of the 'tells' of literary fiction, most annoyingly - no speech marks!



Also I love the covers:


In other news, I'm working my way through Terry Pratchett's Mort. It's quite good, but I've been distracted by the Hungarian Tea House mysteries. ;)


i'm listening to A Little Life - one of the best book I've read these last few years - and reading The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa - that I have to admit I'm not understanding it properly...

I thought A Little Life was stunning, an epic read of modern lit.
Currently re-reading Ready Player One as per book club, and also Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Exactly my thought. An epic read of modern lit. I think I'll steel your definition

Have been listening to Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, I have been finding it quite interesting. The book references online school which feels relevant given the move to online schooling over the past year and a half.


I've started two days ago - but had a lot to do this week end, so I've read very few pages - Jalna, and I'm liking it quite up to now.
I know it's the seventh, but it was the first to have been written, so I've decided to start from here!!!! Mary contrary!
