#amreading #thebeesting #paulmurray I'm only on p. 4 and so far it's been one belly laugh after another. #sentenceoftheday "The adversity had to be something bad, like a learning disability, but not really bad, like being chained up in a basement for ten years by a paedophile."

I had a really nice dream after such a long time where I met Paul Murray, author of #TheBeeSting and got to gush about this fantastic book to him, especially the parts about Imelda. He also kindly signed my copy of the book. It was lovely! ❤️ #booksky

Finishing this behemoth of a book today. I’m gonna be emotionally exhausted once I reach the last page, and it has been a crazy journey.

The ending of Paul Murray's #TheBeeSting hit me like a truck – much the same as B.R. Yeager's #NegativeSpace.
Perspective plays a big role in the tragedy of these novels and the important lessons we can learn from them:

I've never been much of a poetry fan, but this passage, from #TheBeeSting, by Paul Murray, is about the best argument in favor of reading poetry that I've seen. And this is a good novel, in the early going.

I can’t remember the last time I exclaimed, “what amazing writing!” at a novel. The debating chamber scene in #TheBeeSting - 💯 % my #comp girl experience at the Oxford Union (if someone good was up). Honestly, find this. It’s outstanding. #PrivateSchoolAdvantages
