How does Hideous Kinky qualify?

I used the root word Hide. It's a stretch I know but I thought we needed another book.

OK - too subtle for me - but apparently I haven’t read it so I might choose it. Although I do love Arnold Bennett.

I'm going to do either The Radiant Way or The Old Man and the Sea (embarrassing that I don't think I've ever finished a Hemingway). Open to advise and suggestions :)

I am going to read The Old Man and the Sea.

Me too!

I think I might go with Hideous Kinky as other 1001 readers have reviewed it as delightful.

It is delightful and so is the movie:)
