Welcome to BookShook! This is all about the second half of May's book, Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (from chapter 7 if you're reading alongside) . The idea is that we’ll read the first half of a book together (that I've never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month), I'll discuss the second half of the book. We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation below or send an email to bookshook @yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for June 2021 is The Offing by Benjamin Myers (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). The first podcast will be on 11th June. Thanks for listening to BookShook! RogerContent Warning: There are adult themes throughout the novel (mental health, sexual violence and suicide). I have removed any swear words from dialogue. Please check the content of the novel before listening to the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
