Isn’t Peace discredited from the Damned United?
I doubt it.
I’m listening to the Lord of the rings read by Andy Serkis. It’ll be a long term project.
I’m listening to this now and really enjoying it. I re-listened to A Spinning Heart first which is as you say essential. Heart be at Peace is a fine book in its own right. The ‘Rory’ chapter in particular is a beautiful piece of writing. Ryan’s books work really well on audio. Himself the wife and their friends share the reading. The Limerick/ Tipp accents add hugely to it.

A grand book but not his best.
Any recs on Dickens? Just finished A Tale of Two Cities, and now would like something shorter and not as well known. Online lists of his best/worst are all contradictory.
They were the best of lists, they were the worst of lists

We did Hard Times in school. It was terrible
Seems to be generally considered to be shit.
There aren’t many shorter. A Christmas Carol? What did you think of it? I read it last year and thought it was grand. Female characters not very believable.
I’ve read Great Expectation and Pickwick Papers and couldn’t really recommend unless you’re a very fast reader.
