Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the second half of September’s book, The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen published in 2001 (from Page 325 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll read the first half of a book together — one that I and perhaps you have 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 at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for October's is Journey to the end of the Night, The book of disquiet, the wide sargasso sea, The Castle — we’ll be reading up to page 77 (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). The first podcast will be on 14th October's. Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
