gogo Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 And I'm hoping to get his new one for Christmas: Recommendation for fans of music biographies, or true-life mystery (it's on a bunch of end-of-year Best lists): And for seasonal funsies, YA-ish Christmas-y rom-com (heavy on the rom) short stories: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know anyone still wrote books in that hysterical realism style, but glad to find they do. I don't think you need to be a gamer, I would say I have not really been one for about 25 years but I've still kept an interest in what is going on and picked up a controller occasionally. The detail of game development is part of what makes it such a richly detailed world. There were a few things in it where I thought if you didn't know games you would probably want to have a google to figure out what the characters were talking about!

Oil Can Boyd Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just picked up Long Island, Colm Tóibín's follow-up to Brooklyn. I saw him read from it last night. He's a pretty entertaining guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted Wednesday at 07:51 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:51 AM Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. Not reading but listening. Spooky stuff and the readers voice is great to doze off to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c4pv/episodes/player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
