The Master and Margarita is amazing. Quite enjoyed Heart of a Dog too… ---

I went on a Sebald binge a while ago. Austerlitz is a true masterwork. ---

Enduring Love is really good by McEwan. You might enjoy that one more. I have tried a few by him and that’s my favourite. ---

Yes that’s good. Very moving. I haven’t read On Chesil Beach - it doesn’t appeal to me. In a very similar vein to Enduring Love, Kazuo Ishiguro’s recent book Clara and the Sun. EDIT- I was thinking of Never Let Me Go by Ian McEwen. That’s the one that’s like Clara and the Sun. Enduring Love is also good - the balloon one. ---

Never Let Me Go is by Ishiguro. I’m looking at the still after many years later unread copy on my bookshelf now. ---

I’ve read Atonement. Not sure how I felt about it. There’s was quite a lot of Shawkshank Before the redemption. ---

You’re right. Ishiguro. And we’ll worth reading. Great story. ---

Excellent. I’ll start it tonight. I have no idea why I bought it and presumably lugged it through several house moves without ever reading it. ---

Fun fact: I gave my copy to Feedback Ted when he ended up in hospital after breaking his leg in London. ---

Just read Merlin Sheldrakes - Entangled Life. It’s a pretty mind blowing book and just started Jeremy Lent - Web of Meaning. Both books have some pretty profound things to say regarding our current world view. ---

Yes stoked!!! It’s an absolute banger that one. Now wasn’t that a lot more fun to read than ‘literature’. Pah. One book down. 49 to go. Now just do all the books in order I reckon. ---

Full Bleed is a really nice book. I missed it first time around and just had the 10th Anniversary edition delivered from Palomino.

I love the title so much. You see it and you just want to know. You can put a stress on a different word and get a new title too - _why_ didn’t they, why _didn’t_ they, why didn’t _they_ etc. New Hugh Laurie adaption coming out soon. ---
