I got The Sellout for Christmas from my Mum, amazing how she knew what I wanted.

Finished The Outrun last night. Almost didn't want to get to the end but it remained as beautifully and lyrically written as throughout. Great bit of non fiction.

Will pick up something fictional next

I heart new books! :-)

My dad gave me John Le Carrie's The Pigeon Tunnel. Funnily enough I gave him the same book.

I got books I asked for plus a Stanislaw Lem book. I've never read any of his. It looks very interesting. It was first published in Poland in 1965 but not in the UK until 1974. I might still use it as my 1965 book on the other thread though.

What other thread? Don't recall 1965 being mentioned at the hotel?
