Misery and obliviousness packed into very short books and concise prose. I’ve just finished A Quiet Life (1976)—it’s unrelenting in its unhappiness—and I’m going to need a breather before picking up Injury Time (1977).

Book Haul
I might have gone to my local #bookshop today and made judicious use of my birthday book token from October.
My To Read pile might be 170 books high again.
What of it?
