are you reading, or listening to audiobooks?
Both are reading, you ableist fuck.
But these four are books I read on paper.

What did you think of the White Album? I love many of Joan's sentences but she often leaves me cold. I'd really like to read some Bowen,

Read the first two of these. The second one, Bad News, is amazing.I read Never Mind by Edward St Aubyn over the weekend - the first in the "Patrick Melrose" series. I haven't seen the tv show, or read any of his other books, but I'll definitely be checking out more. Superb writing; reallly acerbic, funny and very very dark too.
I'm now thinking of moving onto My Year of Rest and Relaxation - that got lots of good reviews last year.
I felt a bit like that with MIlkman, but finally found that I had really enjoyed reading it.I'd be interested to hear more of people's thoughts on My Year of Rest and Relaxation. I had a lot of trouble with it and can't even be sure I liked or enjoyed it, but still rate it relatively highly.
It was my book of the year 2018. I fucking loved it. The main character was a hideous, self absorbed and destroying sack of flesh and it perfectly encapsulated my experience of having zero self esteem for yourself and a deep hatred of everyone around you due to having 0 serotonin. It was really funny, dark, cruel and sadistic.I'd be interested to hear more of people's thoughts on My Year of Rest and Relaxation.

Bought Milkman yesterday. Looking forward to reading it.I felt a bit like that with MIlkman, but finally found that I had really enjoyed reading it.
Looking forward to checking out his work. My hatred of Cumberbatch is turning me off the show.I read Never Mind by Edward St Aubyn over the weekend - the first in the "Patrick Melrose" series.

I'm no fan but Patrick Melrose is the best thing he's done. In fairness, he's playing a horrid toff so not much of a stretch!Looking forward to checking out his work. My hatred of Cumberbatch is turning me off the show.

I enjoy that sort of thing as you know I'm surprised you finished it!
Just looking through the previous books and surprised how few i've read, think i'll catch up on the ones I haven't read over the coming months.
