@BrophyLevey @Andr6wMale I loved that letter so much I dragged my mum across the room just to see it. Very happy to have reunited it with you!

@BrophyLevey Hi Kate, Did you know that this wonderful letter is in the Treasures Of The British Library collection. I’m sure you did but if not…

So far, #GodsBehavingBadly is pretty good. @mpphillips knows how to build a world & show (presage, really) character development from page 1: skillful economy of wordcraft. Somehow it feels like a slow start but you look down & realize you accidentally got on a supersonic train.

Just finished The Wedding People by Alison Espach (out Aug 1). A fantastic modern romance, smart, funny and humane, with beautifully-rendered characters driving the simple but satisfying plot. An intelligent, uplifting, wholly enjoyable read. Thanks for the proof @francescamain

@StuartEvers Ideally the two would be related, but I guess you could divide your entire life into “before” and “after”

Oddly precise question, for a thing: have you, or anyone you know, ever had a break up or other life crisis after reading the book South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami? Please share widely!

@mpphillips this won’t help either but, nearing the end of 1q84, i am given hope that the opposite might occur, perhaps manifested by watching the moon while drunk.

@mpphillips (this won't help you!) I read A LOT of Murakami in 2001 including that one AND I had a major break-up that year but the book is not part of it because another book was: Don DeLillo "The Body Artist" I read it twice, very carefully the 2nd time, because it was *about that*!
