Started reading this while sitting by the local pool in 34⁰C heat in Melbourne. Curious book so far. Mystery and meaning stuff. And sunshine.

Traditional re-read for Hogswatch.
And yes page 11 is the first page of the story.
1997 edition Corgi.

Not sure I find these funny. Poignant yes.

Lots of weird and very angry people. So many stories. Also no gun control

Interesting characters. Random

Written with such detail and feeling, for such a man (character not author) who hides so much of his own feelings even from himself, that you can't help seeing how much he is missing around him. I'm anxious for Stevens and what is approaching. Compelling and rich writing.
Don't you love it when you find a good book.

Meandering journal of thoughts so far. Not sure where it is going.

Short chapters of ordinary life, beautifully observed.

Easy to read story. Part of the jolly bookish girl and her war experience trend that's raging right now.

Depressing and a bit rambly so far.

Backwards and forwards in time and still he moans on and on about his shame and how everyone pities him and he did a bad thing and it's all bad. So much ego and mess. Did they create this by pushing him so hard and never caring for his mental state? Or is this what it's like stuck in a teenage competitors brain. What a bleak place.

First 2 hours and its easy to read. Danny is a fierce boy and man. Lots of jumping between times hinting at something horrible. All the internal discussion of hate and rage at himself and everyone else give you an idea where we are headed. Tough going.
