Off on holiday in a couple of days time, so obviously stocking up my Kindle takes priority over actual packing. This is the pile I hope to make a dent in; a couple of review books and some long neglected ones from the TBR pile

Book #7 of holiday reading – The End of Everything by M. John Harrison. A consistently unnerving and rewarding reading experience - one that that lingers, and haunts, like a unusual stain in a seaside hotel room. See Alt text for full review. #beachreads #holidayreading #bookerprize booker
Book #7 of holiday reading – The End of Everything by M. John Harrison. Confusion and obfuscation are dangerous literary devices; for everyone who loves the woozy unsureity of Ishiguru’s The Unconsoled (me for example) there are many others who are left floundering as things are left unexplained and vague. The End of Everything revels in its lack of specificity, turning it into a virtue, an essential component of the novel. It makes for a consistently unnerving, something rewarding, sometimes frustrating reading experience. A crisis has occurred in England. Exactly what has happened, we do not quite learn, the memory of the event having blurred in characters’ minds, but the weather has turned on the island, and the city of London is overrun by aliens known as the iGhetti, who can cause glitches in human perception. In this ruined society, Phillip Tennent finds an artefact on the beach which forces him inland, closer to the heart of the shattered kingdom. There are perhaps two ways to read The End of Everything: the first way is to look for clues, patterns, information to piece together what has happened, and what is happening; the second is to give into the dreamlike state of the novel, let it come to you without exerting yourself upon it. I gave up with the first way after about fifteen pages, and I can safely say that I enjoyed it so much more when I stopped trying to work out the specifics. By the end, I felt I knew what was happening at a subliminal level, even if I couldn’t be certain to be able to explain it. There are several parallels, subtle and not so subtle, with the hellfire of today, and Harrison’s burnished, elegant and elegiac prose is equal to his subtle world building. It is a marvellous novel, one that lingers, and haunts, like a unusual stain in a seaside hotel room.

"5 out of 5 stars! The notes at the end of each chapter gave more information and historical explanations, which only added to my enjoyment. An absolutely cracking read (or listen in my case)" 6 strange cases to download this #Monday #ebook #bookworms #holidayreading

Book #3 of holiday: Steve Cavanagh's ONE OF US IS GUILTY. It's a holiday tradition to read the latest Eddie Flynn legal thriller, and this was a total joy from start to finish. More response in the image alt text. #holidayreading #beachreads #books @headlinebooks.bsky.social
One of Us is Guilty by Steve Cavanagh, cover image on a tablet against a backdrop of an open brick barbeque. One of Us is Guilty has the usual street-smart, con-man turned lawyer shenanigans, but allied with an even more interesting set of antagonists (modelled, not so subtly, on the Murdoch clan). I was so immersed, I was reading while barbequing...

book #2 of holiday. On the Calculation of Volume, 5. Not coming until November, this is the latest instalment of the most interesting and unusual writing project of recent years. For my thoughts, look at the Alt Text of the image. @faberbooks.bsky.social #holidayreading #beachreads
A copy of ON THE CALCULATION OF VOLUME book V, on a beach beside a bottle of Alfa beer. Book #2 of holiday: Solvej Balle's, On the Calculation of Volume, 5. Not coming until November, this is the latest instalment of the most interesting and unusual writing project of recent years, I inhaled it in a day, then spent the night trying to think through its implications. I think its great power is Balle’s absolute commitment to her vision, even when it raises questions the novel cannot answer. Why are there no bad actors repeating the same day over and over? Why have none gone crazy and begun committing heinous crimes? Or have they, and Tara just doesn’t realise. It is a book that forces us to confront the fact of our own insularity, the fact that we can only see the world through our own aging eyes. Other volumes have ended with proper, almost Dickensian cliff-hangers, but volume five closes with a deeper, more elemental, feeling of the nearing of the end. The penultimate volume comes in April next year and I already cannot wait.

And finally ... I’m currently reading Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner, which I love because it reminds me rather of Barbara Pym. I’m about a third of the way through and I don’t want it to end.

Don’t expect a 5-book round-up next time! #booksky #readingupdate #holidayreading 6/6

...which I don’t think would be workable. Anyway...

I then read You Have Arrived At Your Destination by Amor Towles, which I liked. First time reading this author and I would read more, though the end of the story arrived rather quickly.

...but I felt it left gaps which were never filled. I did enjoy parts of the book, but I had lots of questions about one of the central things about it - a particular longstanding arrangement relating to the house, I’ll say, to avoid spoilers...

I felt as if a different character ought to have been the main character. There were various hints in the earlier part of the book which were never taken up. The narrative jumped forward by ten or twenty years every so often, which is fine...

As a quick read, I read Two Women Walked into a Bar by Cheryl Strayed, which I enjoyed, though I’d expected it to be a short story rather than a memoir.

Then I read 25 Library Terrace by Natalie Fergie, which both surprised and irritated me...

It’s the return of the reading update! And because it’s been a while, I’ve actually read some books...
I finished Wintering by Katherine May, which I did enjoy but as I said before, wasn’t quite what I expected. An interesting read, would recommend.
