Quarantine by Jim Crace is an interesting read set two thousand years ago, about four travellers, including one called Jesus, who enter the desert to fast for forty days.
Ten Stories About Smoking by Stuart Evers is a fabulous collection of short stories. Very highly recommended.
Them by John Ronson is a wacky ride with a variety of extremists. There are some bizarre people about!
The Third Policeman by Flann O’Brien may be my second attempt at this novel, and if so, is my second failed attempt to figure out what was going on. I give up!
No Beast So Fierce by Edward Bunker, What a find! It’s a terrific insight into the American criminal mind, based on the author’s violent past. Highly recommended.
