Last week I finished two short novels,
Never Mind, by Edward St. Aubyn, and
Life Form, by Amelie Nothomb. I loved them both in different ways.
Never Mind is the first of the Patrick Melrose series; I definitely want to finish reading all the books now.
Life Form was a strange and wonderful book about authors, writing and creating fiction. I'll write reviews this week.
Now I've got two new books going.
Happy Ending by Francesca Duranti is about a weekend gathering of family at an Italian estate. I could see it as a very arty movie.
More Beer, by Jakob Arjouni, is the second Kemal Kayankaya series crime novel, about environmental activists and the murder of the owner of a chemical plant. It's entertaining and enjoyable.

ReplyDeleteThe title of More Beer intrigues me.

ReplyDeleteSound interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm still reading Beloved Enemy by Ellen Jones, though I made a good dent in it today (well, compared to the dents I've been making- it is a long one.)
