Don’t give up on it! It took me quite a while to get into it and then I loved it and didn’t want it to end.

After you’ve read ‘Lolita’ can I recommend ’Reading Lolita in Tehran’ by Azar Nafisi? It’s a really interesting book - partly literary criticism of Lolita and other books, partly political, partly about the lives of some women in Iran.

The poor old gardener took quite a hit!
“The gardener used to come twice a month, but then he increased his costs from £230 a year to £245 a year. We only have him come once every other month now.”

Oh do tell us what you made of Inspector Imanishi when you’ve finished it. I thought it was a bit different, quite charming really but maybe a bit slow in places.

It’s interesting on so many levels - there is brilliant literary criticism of the books she discusses with her students, there are moving accounts of those students lives under the harsh regime and it helped me to understand the political situation in Iran. I had to read it slowly and carefully!

My favourite was ‘Reading Lolita in Tehran’, not an easy read but so so good.

I enjoyed ‘All the Little Bird Hearts’ by Viktoria Lloyd-Barlow. The author and one of the main characters are autistic

There was a young lady from Thrace
Whose corsets would no longer lace
Her mother said “Nellie
There’s more in your belly
Than ever went in through your face!”
Sorry (not sorry)

I’ve been using StoryGraph for a few months now and I love it. I agree that the ’moods’ are a bit random. I like to see the covers of my tbr pile. I also like the summary by month showing everything that I have read in various formats and also seeing how many pages I’ve read each month.

Good suggestion thanks but I did manage to read both. Disappointed in Any Human Heart as I’ve wanted to read it for ages but didn’t enjoy it. I’ve now become a fan of Donal Ryan though after reading From a Low and Quiet Sea and Strange Flowers.
