Two books I've enjoyed recently.

Adam Kay - very very funny. A bit sad. A very easy read. GONE-Becky has taken this

Fergal Keane - BBC war reporter, tells his family story in Kerry. (Covering the Irish war of independence and the civil war.)

As I've had no takers on the above, I am going to try some more. Both autobiographies by people that lived fairly crazy lives.

Hi Fabian! I've been hoping to read this is going to hurt! If it's still going I'll take it! :)

I agree that Adam Kay's book is brilliant!

Recently I also enjoyed reading The Outrun by Amy Liptrot (who Anna now shares an agent with!), so that's my recommendation :)

I heard that This Is Going To Hurt is great. Happy to join the back of the queue.

I can’t say that it was the advertisement of it being “Richard and Judy’s bestseller” that attracted me to this paperback. About 10 years ago I read any book about Afghanistan that I could lay my hands on. Whilst not usually a big reader of novels this book is just incredible.
