I just finished The Rachel Incident and I enjoyed it! Last month i devoured Emma Cline’s The Guest and I gotta say she’s one of my new found favorite authors!
New subscriber. Hi 👋 from Tyrone, N.Ireland. My best books of the year so far are Deluge by Stephen Markley Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton The New Life by Tom Crewe Kala by Colin Walsh Close To Home by Michael Magee All That’s Left Unsaid by Tracey Chein My Fourth Time We Deowned 🍀👋☘️📚📕📖☕️
i also liked Fuccboi! you should definitely read lorrie moore's short stories if you haven't already, i recommend starting with her collection Like Life!
Of the 2023 books I’ve read there have been no five star reads and only three 4.75, of which The Shards is one alongside two Women’s Prize long list titles. The Shards stands as my favorite new book this year as well. Impressive a January book has held on to that title and amongst few others beyond you two embracing it as a favorite!
I read the Cost of Living and Swimming Home by Levy and they both slapped! As I understand it the internet's cosensus seems to be that the Cost of Living is much better than Things I don't Want to Know. But I'd especially recommend Swimming Home, I think it would be totally your thing. So don't give up on her just yet 🙃
I loved The Guest-favourite boook of the years. Hated the 😂😂lori Moore-complete nonsense and I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned In Memorium as it’s the new queer novel and heading for the booker long list.n I wouldn’t touch Sheila Heti with a ten foot pole.
Interesting, video artist and photographer Shirin Neshat, who was also born in Iran, has a career spanning exhibition of her work entitled I Will Greet The Sun too. I guess it’s based on a phrase from a famous Iranian poet.
every time you post a video like this my bank account loses money and somebody needs to be held accountable
Broder for the pod when..? 👀👀👀 fingers crossed with painful eagerness xx

Always love the way you speak about books. I look forward to getting to Birnam Wood next month and I also didn't love August Blue.

I would try Swimming Home by Levy! So far, I think it’s her best.
The Shards is also my favorite of the year so far.
Love that!!!

The latest episode of Sean Thor Conroe's podcast (1storypod) is him talking about his experience of Fuccboi being panned. Not deserved!

I’m so enjoying The RachelIncident. And I really love Deborah Levy’s non fiction.
Excited to try more Levy, and glad to hear you’re also enjoying The Rachel Incident!
@@TheBarandtheBookcase , I'm SO glad I picked it up. I'm enjoying the witty dialogue and the platonic love dynamic SO much.
i just finished Rouge! surreal and gothic! it'll make for a very interesting pod chat 👀👀👀

I found The Shards to be an extremely tedious read.
