Can anyone recommend me a great book?

Depends what sort of stuff you enjoy. For what it's worth though, I found all of these particularly enjoyable:


The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen

English Passengers - Matthew Kneale

Star of the Sea - Joseph O'Connor

Canada - Richard Ford

The Secret History - Donna Tartt

What's the last book you really loved Karen, so we can recommend with a bit more confidence? I've got a huge list off the top of my head but unless I have an inkling of your taste, you may hate them all!

Having said that, I second all Hawley's list.

Haven't read Canada yet, but I recommend The Sportswriter, also by Richard Ford, and the sequels. You do not have to be a sports fan to like this book.

    • Yes, we have a Casio CT-S100 we no longer need, except I dont think we have the headphones any more. It has a USB connection. £50? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7333639
    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
