"I’ve just finished Ben Elton’s ‘Two Brothers’ for the second time. Imo it’s a brilliant book. Lifts a lid on the life of Jews throughout the Nazi regime! X"
Stuck that on my list, thanks  . Not into Ben Elton as a comedian but his books are fab. |

Most of his books are satirical - this one is completely different! It’s fictional but based on factual documentation from around that time and the history of his own family! Imo it’s incredibly well written and a great read - though I’d be the first to say I’m no literary genius! |

Such a moving book.
Could someone tell me more about this book please? A brief synopsis without giving the end away?
Thanks xx"
Young lad arrives at Auschwitz and gets picked to help the tattooist - then takes over. He falls in love with a fellow prisoner and it's how they live their lives trying to be together here and there when they can. |

"Just finished the boy in the striped pajamas  Fab book but heart wrenching.
I have now moved on to Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy as needed something a tad more light hearted."
Story time.
It's Sunday morning in Queens, NYC i have a date in a few hours, taking her to dinner.
My friends and I are just chilling out as you do on Sunday morning, searching for films to watch and my one friend says "hey lets what's The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" and I think oh okay cool it sounds like a fun carefree film, maybe Disney or something.
We watch the entire thing... I wanted to end my own life toward the end and it put me in an incredibly depresses mood.
Literally about half an hour later I was on a really shit date with this poor girl who I was in no headspace to go on a date with hahaha. |

Stephen King wrote a short story about a kid who is obsessed with the Holocaust and ends up meeting a Nazi war criminal on his street, who is obviously living under a different identity.
Pretty sure he has a fantasy about raping a Jewish girl in the camps. |

When I was 18, I smashed books like It and The Stand in days. No joke. Just age and brain rot. |

Happens to the best of us, surprising how much people read in a day, such as news articles, social media, ingredient list on food packaging when they could’ve read a few chapters of a book. |

Vermillion Sands ,by J.G Ballard
Collection of short stories, but all set in some woozy, languid, LA style futuristic desert backwater. Good for getting through one at a time on a lunch break/ commute |

Just finished Normal People by Sally Rooney and Winter by Ali Smith. It might be time to revisit the classics - can't stand the Brontes but love George Eliot so it could be Middlemarch or Daniel Deronda |

Are you thinking of Apt Pupil? that's the only short story with the holocaust I can think of its in the Different Seasons book along with Shawshank Redemption, The Body (which as a film is Stand by Me) and The Breathing Method |

One of the funniest things I’ve ever read.
Also makes you feel very 
Worst I’ve read so far was about a young man out celebrating his 18th and ended up de-sleeving his penis! |

Just finished 'A Breath of Snow and Ashes' by Diana Gabaldon ... Book 6 of the Outlander series. Brilliant! Ended on a cliffhanger but stupidly didn't think to have Book 7 at the ready!?!? Good job it's pay day this week |

C.P. Cavafy "Collected Poems". Picked up on impulse at the shop at (I think) the National Gallery.
"When you set out on the journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road be long,
full of adventures, full of knowledge." |
