Listening to you review the longlisters has been the best content for Booker 2024 so far. The rant ones are especially hilarious! Don't dnf, keep them coming! 😂
The description of dialogue reminded me of the part in House of Doors where two characters discuss their tea tasting of "loss and melancholy." I could recommend some better tea and better books! Enlightenment sounds pretty deadly.
I agree the dialogue is pretty terrible. I did like this better than other books on the long list-- which isn't saying much. Have long lists in previous years been this bad? I just don't understand the popularity of this prize.
I've been looking forward to this one. I really, really disliked this book. Now I'm looking forward to your thoughts about This Strange, Eventful Life. I didn't like that one either (but that was partly because of the audiobook narrator's annoying French accent when doing the French speaking characters).

Good to hear your sniffles don’t detract from your impassioned ability to rage against poorly executed books. 🤗❤️

I knew you'd hate this but thank god the blazer is back!!! (I hope you're feeling better)
I love your videos!
knew it by just the cover...
I find book awards to be totally worthless to me. 95% of the books are vapid.
I wonder what a writing class would be like with you as the teacher! 😜
pure "honk shoo" material is a hilarious way to describe a book lmao

Agreed 😊
Ok but Plato was kind of a big deal
