Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the first half of May’s book, Light by M. John Harrison published in 2002 (up to Chapter 18 on page 161 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that we’ll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first episode, published on the second Friday of the month, we’ll discuss the first half. And then in the second episode (published on the last Friday of the month - 26th May), we’ll look at the second half of the book (in this case from Chapter 18 on page 161). 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 youtube.com/@BookShook or send an email to [email protected]. The book we’ll be reading for June is The Trilogy Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unmissable by Samuel Beckett (418 pages) (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside).
