Always love to see some Canadian lit! Out of Earth seems really intriguing.

My story of reading The Van. I was travelling up and down to Belfast doing a part time course on the bus. ( around 80 miles). I was reading the book and having to stuff my fist in my mouth to stop me roaring with laughter. Then there’s a scene in the pub between Rabbit and pal talking about redundancy. I cried ( big snotty tears) and I didn’t have a tissue. Love the whole triology. If you want more from Roddy Doyle read The Woman Who Walked Into Doors. Great but difficult. It’s about domestic abuse.

Aha, that sounds amazing! Ooh, yes, I’ve heard that book is a lot, but also very well done. Thank you!

I very much enjoyed Mr. Loverman! Just ordered the Sarah Moss from the library (I love Iceland). Avenues by Train sounds very interesting Thank you, Bob 😊

I was recently in Iceland on holidays too! I have that book but haven’t read it yet. I enjoy Sarah Moss very much. I loved the Commitments both book and film and often play the fabulous soundtrack even today after all these years after reading the book. Another good week Bob.

I only just heard about the Republic of Consciousness Prize this year from Eyes on Indie. It sounds like an incredible prize!

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Yes! It’s such a fun prize, because so many books are just wildly inventive!

I really need to get to Mr. Loverman. I've had a copy ever since Evaristo won the Booker.

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Yes! I put this one off for ages but it’s good fun!

iceland intrigues me....if you find yourself nostalgic and haven't read it i think you'd love independent people by halldor laxness...i certainly did.

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Ooh, I’ve been meaning to read Laxness for years!
