Bintmcskint Jan 2017 1:40pm, 28 Jan 2017 34,351 posts	0 Bintmcskint Not one I've read and I know nothing about it. These are good things. Only just started Myra Breckinridge plus I have to trawl through a couple more of the British Library Crime Classics so it will be a little while before I start it.
EvilPixie Jan 2017 1:48pm, 28 Jan 2017 12,264 posts	0 EvilPixie anyone read The Sellout?
Yorkshire Pie Jan 2017 2:22pm, 28 Jan 2017 13,150 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I've definitely seen the film and think I've read the book, but a while ago now so may revisit it.
EvilPixie Jan 2017 2:24pm, 28 Jan 2017 12,265 posts	0 EvilPixie my work book club read it .... only 1 of us finished it. I'm determined to finish it but I'm failing to see how it got the Booker prize. Our next book is Girl on the Train which I am waiting for! I'll be next to choice I think so I'll be looking at the list to see what you guys have been reading
Columba Jan 2017 4:34pm, 28 Jan 2017 12,309 posts	0 Columba Finished The Tenant of Wildfell Hall last night. Next on my list is The Invisible Woman, which is non-fiction, about Charles Dickens's mistress; I think I can cope with a fiction and a non fiction simultaneously so will also try the library for The Virgin Suicides - which I hadn't previously heard of, nor the author.
Serendippily Jan 2017 7:24pm, 28 Jan 2017 1,203 posts	0 Serendippily Pretty sure it was McG who got very tetchy about the sellout
McGoohan Jan 2017 7:32pm, 28 Jan 2017 27,787 posts	0 McGoohan It was a bit. I thought it was Okayish to a point but rapidly got quite annoying. It was like being harangued by a pub bore - though a witty one - all the way through.
McGoohan Jan 2017 8:03pm, 28 Jan 2017 27,788 posts	0 McGoohan So - I've been out all day so only just seen the choice. My main question is this: How is Eugenides pronounced? Is it Yew-jenny-dis? You-jean-ides?
Bintmcskint Jan 2017 8:08pm, 28 Jan 2017 34,366 posts	0 Bintmcskint Yew-jenny-dees I think Like Euripedes trousers, Eumenides trousers
Little Nemo Jan 2017 8:23pm, 28 Jan 2017 7,179 posts	0 Little Nemo Ha! It looks as though my local library has a copy. So when I return The Third Policeman (being good and restraining myself from burning it!) I'll see if it's actually there.
