The Golden Road is a fantastic exploration of Indian ideas and of how Indian thought, religion and learning spread throughout the world. Dalrymple is a fantastic writer and, even though I came to this book with no real knowledge of Indian history, I found the book accessible and thoroughly enjoyable

No messing with Harun ‘Samuel L. Jackson’ al-Rashid .
The book is The Golden Road by William Dalrymple and it is just great.

Currently reading The Black Company by Glen Cook. I usually have a few books on the go but this one is taking over my free time. It’s no surprise to see a recommendation from Steven Erikson on the back. This in-the-trenches fantasy is all the things I love about the Malazan series. #booksky

Just finished Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito. What a fantastic, twisted and hilarious read. The title evokes American Psycho but this isn’t a gothic transplant, where Bateman was narcissistic, Winifred Notty is just delights in evil. Well worth a read.

How are we tracking our reading? This year I upgraded from the back of a notebook to Notion.so but I do kind of miss having a physical list to check back on.
Feel free to share yours.
(And yes, this is so that I can creep on your lists for recommendations)

Currently reading - The Sound and the Fury. First time reading Faulkner and I’ll be honest I’m not really sure what’s going on. I’m enjoying the writing and I’m just assuming it will all become clear eventually 🤷♂️

I was lucky enough to get an arc of this from NetGalley. I always love weird fiction (Mona Awad, Moshfegh, Melissa Broder -esque). This novel was smart, funny, strange, atmospheric and deeply moving. And it’s a debut so definitely worth supporting #betavulgaris
