Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of June’s book, Howards End by E.M. Forster published in 1910 (up to Chapter 21 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first podcast, published on the second Friday of the month, we’ll discuss the first half. And then in the second podcast (published on the last Friday of the month - 24th June), we’ll look at the second half of the book (in this case from chapter 21). 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 at the BookShook YouTube Channel or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for July is Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
