Sharkie Mar 2022 1:44pm, 3 Mar 2022 19,483 posts	0 Sharkie I seem to remember getting it from the children's library in Manchester. Have just checked - not printed recently but pretty easy to get hold of. I want to re-read it now!
Hanneke Mar 2022 8:03pm, 3 Mar 2022 86,567 posts	0 Hanneke Linds, if they are German, left wing Guardian readers then anything will do really. Bearing in mind I am that same background but Dutch... Only thing that irks me is the poor editing in the Grauniad I would go for something topical like Orwell: 1984, Animal Farm? Non-Fiction I would think Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island would go down well...
LindsD Mar 2022 8:47pm, 3 Mar 2022 53,269 posts	0 LindsD Thank you. I suspect they have read both of them.
Hanneke Mar 2022 8:53pm, 3 Mar 2022 86,572 posts	0 Hanneke Probably! I read them in my teens, at school...
Hanneke Mar 2022 8:53pm, 3 Mar 2022 86,573 posts	0 Hanneke I would choose what YOU like. That is what I would like to get from my English friend
LindsD Mar 2022 9:38pm, 3 Mar 2022 53,270 posts	0 LindsD That's very helpful. Thank you
LindsD Mar 2022 9:58pm, 3 Mar 2022 53,271 posts	0 LindsD I have finished They
quimby Mar 2022 10:07pm, 3 Mar 2022 5,444 posts	0 quimby I'm half way through. Going to finish it tomorrow. I don't think it gave me nightmares last night. It's got some nice seaside in it. 🤣
Columba Mar 2022 10:07pm, 3 Mar 2022 21,621 posts	0 Columba Like Daisy, I reserve novel-reading for bed; but may have to make an exception for They, by the sound of it.
