I enjoyed both of those. I also loved In the Sweet Dry and Dry. It's so completely absurd which I absolutely love.
Parnassus On Wheels - This book is a lark and an idyll. It’s escapist literature. In my mind I have established a village populated with my favorite characters from all the books I’ve read. Roger and Helen live there and their haunted bookshop (Parnassus at Home) is right on Main Street.

Is it better to read Parnassus before Bookshop or doesn't it matter?
I read Bookshop first since that was the first book I found by Morley. It wasn't a problem reading it first but the events of Parnassis do come before Bookshop.
Okay. Thanks.My parents had Bookshelf on their shelves for years. I picked up the paperback some time ago and more recently came across Parnassus.
I went on Facebook today and my friend Willie posted this picture of
Parnassus on Wheels - which we found in a local bookshop, He was thanking me for recommending it to him - he loved it. How random is that? He is not on Goodreads - he knows nothing of this discussion.
