![BILAN LECTURE de mi-année [2024]](/img/n.gif)
Brilliant thank you Eric
I'm currently reading Hard by a Great Forest which is really excelent magical realism + a very loose retelling of Hansel and Gretel + a mystery.
I really enjoyed "The Husbands" by Holly Gramazio which started out really hilarious and funny and then descended into a kafkaesque sort of experience with a really strong ending.
I also enjoyed a book I think you'd like called "Shark Heart" which was released last August but for some reason hasn't gotten as much critical acclaim as I expected it might.
Most of my reads though have been very similar to yours when it comes to prize short and long lists, especially for the women's prize for fiction and the international booker prize. I'm also ever trying to keep myself well-read with the 1001 list of books to read before you die.
Dancers of the Dawn sounds really interesting. It's going on my ever-growing TBR!
Sandwich is getting a lot of buzz in the US, and I really loved her last novel We All Want Impossible Things so I am quite eager to read it.
Thanks Eric, they sound marvelous. I'm only just getting back to reading, after a major surgery. It would be nice to be able to say I've a long list of things for which I can barely wait but unfortunately currently they're the usual suspects. More and more it is beginning to seem as if I'm going to need to make my own inspiration, rather than rely upon what I'm reading that month, During the past year or so the stories I've liked most were my own creations because it is becoming hard to find interesting characters. Almost certainly it means I'm growing older and increasingly out-of-touch but nonetheless they are the characters in whom I've an interest : )
Dancers of the dawn is going straight on my wishlist
That was interesting. Never heard of Andrzej Tichý before but his short stories book sounds like something for me.
Read
Read Finistère two years ago and really enjoyed it - but you have to look at it from the 1950 perspective when it was first published.
Excited to read Sandwich, currently reading The Wolf at the Table by Adam Rapp and am enjoying it!
Eric, thank you so much, I will investigate Purity and Un Amor.
Pain and Spain sounds right up my street!
Hope you enjoy!
I’ve been excited for The Third Love hopefully in the states soon. I just ordered The Tree Doctor by Marie Musuki Mockett I also preorder something that comes out next week but I can’t Romberg what it is. So I’ll let you know
Who has republished books by Fritz Peters? Amazon India is showing previous editions and very expensive
Hirsch Giovanni - there are links in the video description.
I just finished Un Amor, as I was planning to watch the movie. It had potential but it ended up being a doozie - the heroine was pathetic and her behaviour didn't make much sense for a thirty-something yo.
