I hadn't heard of...Thanks for the comment, Bob. I hadn't heard of either of your recent reads, but will certainly look them up . It must be nice to be part of a book group - the only one I know of (at work) is a feminist, women-only one - I'm always envious when colleagues go, as they seem to have such a great time. Haven't found a 'blokey' equivalent yet - not sure I'd like that, but the alcohol bit sounds OK - sure it makes the conversation flow. Hope your dad likes Stoner - I keep meaning to look up the other novel of his that Norm recommended. Such a backlog of books waiting to be read, as ever!<br />Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608932251584881007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318375667051435937.post-21304054318261455382013-12-06T17:28:54.591+00:002013-12-06T17:28:54.591+00:00Martin, this is a great reading list. Once again, ...Martin, this is a great reading list. Once again, I am struck by our overlapping reading, as well as our shared lusophilia. <br /><br />I'm in a blokey, alcohol-fuelled book group that meets about every six weeks, so that dictates most of my reading, with just enough space in my life to read some extra things in the summer. I'm currently on an Indian rather than Portuguese role: Adiga's Last Man in Tower and Boo's Behind the Beautiful Forevers, both brilliant. <br /><br />I was going to buy my dad Stoner for Christmas, but my sister just told me she already did. bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439386754907203808noreply@blogger.com
