Weird books that could be Booker longlisted 

"Glorious Exploits.' absolutely brilliant, my favourite book this year.

I really enjoyed Glorious Exploits. I am holding off on the new Rumfitt despite appreciating Tell Me I'm Worthless. Thanks for finding all these to amuse us.

We should start our own prize. Some of these books deserve award stickers on the jacket just for getting published.

Great video! I have Beautyland and Glorious Exploits. Hoping I enjoy both. Brainwyrms…I’m not sure if I want to read it in or not.i just read Tell Me I’m Worthless last month and while I found it clever, it was also a tough read for me. I can’t imagine what Rumfitt’s writing is like when they’re actually trying to disgust you. 😅

Hooray for more Booker content while we wait for the longlist!

Sexy corpses 😂😂 Beautyland sounds so good!!! Been dying to read Brainwyrms!!

So excited that my local library has Beautyland. Sounds fascinating.

🤣The Pod of this year’s Booker🤣This is a weird list indeed! Thanks, Scott!🌷

Oh how good would it be if Alison Rumfitt got the accolades she deserved. Haven't read Brainwyrms yet but loved Tell Me I'm Worthless.

You have a knack for finding some really wacky-sounding books!

These all sound very fun! Thanks for the list

Say Hello To My Little Friend is fantastic. I almost didn't read it because it sounded a little too self-consciously quirky, but I'm so happy that I did.

I'm really interested in your comment at the end that says that Mary and the Rabbit Dream could be perhaps a nod to tate or peterson. Could you elaborate on this in another video? Or, perhaps, elaborate in a reply? This book isn't available yet in the US so I'm not able to make the connection at the moment (or, there might be something really obvious I'm not connecting because I'm a weirdie : P). Love your videos!

Thanks for making a video of books to avoid! 😂 Seriously though, hope you're feeling better. Are you still going to do a prediction video?

I want to read Beautyland! Every Booker list needs one oddball title so maybe one of these will sneak in.

fax machines enabling alien communication? count me in 🤣 The BrainWyrms cover has such a retro feel, but I don't like the taste of my own vom in... I think I'm too much of a wimp for it. fab spotlight of some truly weird sounding books 👍

re use of fax machines: I think that means that almost all of Germanys city governments are actually aliens.... would explain a lot 🤣
