It’s lovely. Like Jackanory for adults.

I know it’s probably 30 years old but I just finished Hotel New Hampshire by John Irvine. Really enjoyable. Irvine is a great bit of stuff

The cider house rules & The world according to Garp are two really good books.

Yeah. I have read both and they are excellent. I think I’ve read them all now apart from A prayer for Owen Meaney

He’s probably tried that already.

Derek’s will be a best seller.

No narrator would do Derek justice

Reading Skippy Dies at the moment. Read it a couple of years ago and loved it and loving it all over again. A bit of a mad book in many ways but all the better for it.

Brilliant. I think it’s divided into 3 books inside and was even sold like that in some versions.

The way it captures the madness of being a teenage boy is superb and just the whole style about it.

Just bought this after the following recommendations from one of my best English friends with whom I went to see paddy considine last year.:
This is a superb book. Shocking, compassionate, informative etc. You won’t put it down

Let me know what you think of it please flatty. Want to read it myself when I can get a copy. Doyle’s review has me intrigued. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/books/review/say-nothing-patrick-radden-keefe.html

Will do. I’ll start it this week. I packed the boxing one in as it was really poor. It read like a feature length article written for the examiner and syndicated by Joe. Ie.
Hard to write a twee book about the dark days of the North, but my word did he pull it off.
