I read The Third Policeman a good twenty years ago. In my memory it was hilarious and completely nutty. I wonder if it would impact me the same way today. Probably!

I finished Engagement the other day and have to say, I really enjoyed it. I'm now ploughing through Said The Dead by Doireann Ní Ghríofa at the minute, and quite enjoying it. It's strange- the perspectives of the protagonists is ambiguous. Or maybe I'm stupid. But it's oddball and eerie.

I read The Third Policeman in Ray K's voice given the absurdity and wording of it reminded me of his madcap videos and stories like The Boiling Gourd etc. Thoroughly enjoyed it anyway.

Haha, maybe I'll try that myself!

I read The Third Policeman a good twenty years ago. In my memory it was hilarious and completely nutty. I wonder if it would impact me the same way today. Probably!

Funny you mention that, it's about 30 years since I read it first, started rereading it recently and couldn't get into it at all. Found it annoying actually. I'll pick it up again at some stage.

Lately it's been strictly non fiction for me.
Just finished "The Stranger in the woods" by Michael Finkel, about a guy called Christopher Knight who lived in the wilderness in the US for 25 years.

Just starting Tiffany Francis Baker's "Dark Skies" which is, unsurprisingly, about night.
