End of the World Running Club is a good book - I've read it a couple of times. I don't much rate The Survivors' Club though, or The Last Dog on Earth. (Yes, there's a theme running through a lot of my books I'm afraid.)

OK, so my list is a mix of re-reads and new (to me) books:

The Mirror and the Light - Hilary Mantel
Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe
If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things - Jon McGregor
American Dirt - Jeanine Cummins

Is 'End of the World Runnign Club' a decent read, It was bought for me as a present, seemed to be a bit of a daft premise, I have had it for over a year, I might have to give it a go!

Hello.

Just going to list mine - most of them are physical books, just too faffy to photograph them just now.

Dave Eggers - The Circle
George Dyson - Turing’s Cathedral
CJ Sansom - Tombland
Richard Thomas - Why Dylan Matters
Iain Banks - The Quarry
Iain M Banks - The Hydrogen Sonata

I have been sitting on the last two for ages. After I’ve read them, there will be no new Banks ever again. But I can’t put them off for ever.

Can't believe you still have Banks.

And WS, I'm not sure I said EotWRC was worth a read. It has stayed with me, though

Was EotWRC a book group book, way back?
I seem to remember reading it at the same time as lots of people on here
