Surely he won't be able to think about sex during this trial of the Bataclan tragedy?

Rebecca, buy this immediately. You will love it.

The plan was to read this immediately after Demon Copperhead to compare the two. Now obviously I've forgotten most of it.

SO EXCITED about this. One of my favourite authors; one of my favourite places, and one of my favourite topics! What could go wrong?

Currently obsessed with Theroux. Have always been obsessed with the mystery of the Deep South. Am LOVING this, unsurprisingly.

I have NEVER heard of this book, but apparently it is a classic, with a huge fan base and discussion forums. Annoying to have to read it in French, especially as it's massive, but that's the copy which has been hidden on our bookshelves until last night!

So I can converse intelligently with my daughter, whose reading list this is on. Read 100 pages this afternoon. My brain hurts.

Intrigued that you gave up on a book, Lyn. I love Levy normally so will have to see how I get on with this one...

You've intrigued me Lyn, abandoning a book! I usually love Levy, so am going to give this a go.

Quickly reading this before giving it to Madison (his most fervent supporter and she does à mean imitation of him too) for her 18th.

I cannot believe I have never read this!

Oh how I love the summer, when I can kick back and read all my faves.

Must be the summer holidays again, when I have the time and the mental stamina to read this once more....

Just seen the film, and it was so surprisingly good that I need to know more about this world!

Bit of light reading for my Covid befuddled brain. Good so far!

Of course I had to buy this, when I saw you were reading it Rob! My (black) son has dedicated his first (unpublished) novel to his white mother, but it's not what I would call A TRIBUTE to me!

My first book in Portuguese! So proud. So pleased I'm reading it on a kindle with a built in dictionary.....

A little bit of trash after the 1000+ page Soviet and WW2 tome I've just waded through!

Some light, uplifting reading for the holidays!

Love this so much already that am reading each page twice to spin it out.

I swear I am not copying, Rebecca. I bought this last week in preparation for holiday reading. And I'm nearly on holiday, so...

All this wandering on forest paths has put me in a Hardesque mood..

The fact that NOTHING of note ever happens in a Hardy never is strangely comfortable. People led such simple Ives. Love triangles were the only bit of spice. Interminable descriptions of weather and nature flesh out the skimpy plots. As I have already said elsewhere ; 100% comfort reading, necessary for my mental health in our fast paced troubling times.

Some heavy reading (in distressingly small print) for the holidays!

Thank you for this idea, Rob. Want to read 'Siège of Krishnapur' again (comfort reading) but had had no idea this was the prequel until you informed me!

Some more light reading!

Some comfort reading for me now, Rebecca!

One of the rare books I just cannot finish. Why can modern French authors not write realistic books?
