The Accidental is a good one! My favorite is Public Library and second is Boy Meets Girl. Enjoy! Winter is even better!Yeah, I was well impressed by it, think it was either yourself or @jonah who recommended it. I'd only read The Accidental by her years ago, Winter is definitely on the reading list now, cheers!
I've just started reading this, and very nice it is too
I found it an absolute drudge to get through. Didn’t realise it was meant to be humorous until afterwards.Just started Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons - A classic and very funny
Really? Wow I'm finding it funny; not laugh out loud but it's good.I found it an absolute drudge to get through. Didn’t realise it was meant to be humorous until afterwards.
That’s by Albert Camus, right?Currently reading Fart Monster with Eoin,he's loving it and I've laughed out loud a few times.
