The Talking Balls Book Club

[highland fox]

Finished 'Talk of the town' by Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal from Father Ted) last night, really enjoyed it, funny and ultimately very dark towards the end.

Superbly paints a picture of small town Irish life, but does seem geared towards an Irish audience.

I take it we wouldn't get the craic

Case in point, that word was spelt correctly as 'crack' throughout the book

A nice cheery finish isn't it?

Mao:the untold story.

If that's a book then it's surely an oxymoron?

 

[From Gradel to Grave]

You'd have thought they'd have come up with something more creative.

'Mao and forever' or something like that :icon_lol:

Dot-to-dot?

There were lots of big words in it, actually: wheelbarrow; motorway; television; machinegun; bogtrotter; Massey-Ferguson etc etc

But the thing I enjoyed most about it was colouring in all the pictures.

Recently finished Nick Hornby - Slam (good, but nowhere near the level of Fever Pitch, About a Boy and High Fidelity)

Now reading Engleby by Sebestian Faulks
