Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the second half of September’s book, Piranesi by Susannah Clarke published in 2020 (from part 3 (page 24 in my copy) to the end 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 is 2666 by Roberto Bolaño (trans. Natasha Wimmer) — we’ll be reading up to $NextReadUpTo$ (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). The first podcast will be on $NextMonths1stPodcastDate$ October. Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
