Finished reading: Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee, 📚I first read the book in my twenties and the topics hit home. Now in my fourties’, I understand in more depth why this book caused controversy in its approach and stereotyping people. Read it with a mature view and open mind on the world.
Currently reading: Pachinko(https://micro.blog/books/9781786691347) by Min Jin Lee 📚 I came across the TV show on Apple TV and decided to try the book first. 50% through and it is 👌🏽
This explains a lot about the world..from the good to the bad
Finished : You’re Not Listening by Kate Murphy 📚 via Blinkist 🎧 A very good reference book for those who want to improve themselves
Could not finish reading: Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami 📚 Onto another one.
It is never always that simple though. I wonder how many have changed during the pandemic.
Currently reading: Slow Horses by Mick Herron 📚 and Currently reading: I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai 📚, which is surprising me a lot.
Finished reading: The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley 📚
Finished reading: The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino 📚 It is definitely worth reading if you like a little bit of crime fiction
Hello all. I have been very busy over the last two weeks. However, I had to put time aside to ensure you got sight of this story. An Afghan In 🇺🇦 Ukraine , which I listened to via @Curioio.
I also-wanted to say well done or #The Republic of Readers. I could not attend and listened back instead. Excellent conversation. I am still on the fence about Devon Think. Appreciate all the info Listen Again
Watched the very first Harry Potter Movie 🎬 with my son. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would and it seems as good as the book. Did not realise there were so many of them. 📚
I love crime fiction with thriller in there too. Lee Child and Stephen King, are not as good as they used to be. The co-writing has changed their approach and method in story telling. Only slightly, but noticeable. Turning to John Grisham, I was not let down. Interesting and griping story with the minder day call-outs and twists. 📚
Win by Harlan Coben. 📚 I could not finish the book. It is not like the normally usual writing style of Coben. It seems more tongue and cheek than suspense. Maybe I just expected more and will try again in the future. www.goodreads.com
Morning all. The Master and Margarita seems to be a good 📚 www.goodreads.com
Just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime It is my second read of the book after 15 years. Still brilliant 📚@mark_haddon
I currently have two books on the go. 1). The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, reading for my second time, after fifteen years. 2). How To Build A Car by Adrian Newey. Excellent book it you are into Motorsport. Looking for my next adventure. A form of crime thriller author similar to author Jo Nesbo. Any recommendations?
Rosie Result is a pretty good book. Only half way through and loving it 📚
The Windup Bird Chronicle
I came across Haruki Maurakami only about 5 years ago. What a brilliant author he is. The Windup Bird Chronicle is another one in the collection I am enjoying. His books are so descriptive and random, they make you really imerse yourself into one of the characters. 📚 🎧
Am I Overthinking This I saw this book when we visited Colombia College last year & did not get around to buying it. Brilliant little book arrived today 📖 📚
Day 3 of MB’s Book Recommendation week, is A Gentleman In Moscow. This is a brilliant read and one of those books you should try and read in your life time.📚
A fantastic light-hearted audiobook. The characters have backstories which make you situp and think. An excellent book for anyone who is looking for something fun and not too serious. Reminds me of stories being told in an old-style English village
Format listened 🎧 ★★★★ #books 📚
