This author also wrote one of my favorite books, a man called Ove. Have you read that one?

Yes, that one is so good! Backman is one of my favorite writers, I can’t think of one by him I don’t love!
Ya know, I tried reading a few of his other books but didn't find another one that I particularly liked. What do you think is his best aside from Ove? Maybe I'll try it!
Beartown and Anxious People are my favorites by him, have you tried those? I know they’re not for everyone but I find his compassionate and wise characterization in those two so moving. I’ll look out for your review if you do try them!
I have not. But I read the synopsis of an anxious people, and it sounded really interesting. I’ll have to read that one!
Do you like them even better than a man called Ove?
I actually do!! Curious what you’ll think.
