Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of May's book, Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (up to the end of ch.6 if you're reading alongside) . The idea of the podcast 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 - 28th May), I'll discuss the second half of the book (in this case from ch.7 to the end). 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 at this channel or send an email to bookshook @yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for June is The Offing by Benjamin Myers (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
Content 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.
