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.

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.
