I love Billy Wilder’s films and ‘Mr Wilder & Me’ is one of my top three favourite novels by @jonathancoe.bsky.social - With ‘What a Carve Up’ and ‘The Rotters Club’ (natch).

Have you read ‘Carmilla’ by Sheridan Le Fanu? If not, do. What she is isn’t a shock for modern readers - but it’s still a great read. Also ‘Melmoth the Wanderer’ by Charles Maturin is a great Gothic book.

It's Normal People for pensioners (sort of)! When 70-somethings June ("she's the grass that needs cutting. She's yesterday's eyeliner today") and Ray ("he's one of his GP's best patients") meet, we get Andrew Meehan's charming, subversive, off-kilter story of late love, Best Friends. I loved it.

Best Friends by Andrew Meehan, a gentle, off-kilter tale about a late-life love, is a joy to read

Is it only out in paperback? I can’t find it for sale as with a hard cover anywhere?

Is it just me or is this staircase actually a stone brontosaurus hiding in plain sight?

While we wait for him to write anything else half as good ever again, we can always reread Edward St Aubyn's Patrick Melrose novels in this fat new Everyman one-volume hardback edition. Out in November.

Just finished book 5 ‘Close to Death’. Excellent series. Clever & quirky and so ‘meta’ - The author is also a character in the series. As an avid reader of murder mysteries from ‘Golden Age’ to modern I highly recommend these books.

“The Spoiled Heart reads like several books in one, each not competing with but supporting the others. If it doesn’t get Sahota on the Booker longlist again, I’ll be very disappointed.” Me on Sunjeev Sahota’s terrific new novel:

The Spoiled Heart by Sunjeev Sahota review — this is a Booker contender

Middle-aged romance, heartbreak and bitter trade union politics mix in this gripping novel

24. To finish, then, back to my beloved Scandis for something calm and ethereally beautiful: 19th/20th Century Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén’s ‘Julsång’. Too gorgeous for words. Have the loveliest Christmas. Thanks for your company. youtu.be/31UYUhXxEWg?...
