*adds Bee Movie to wish list

It took me 4 days to read this 130 page book. And I only read it because it was a gift from my brother. Absolutely nothing happened in this book aside from the endless listings of places on earth.

I hadn't even heard of ORBITAL until the prize was announced, and from what I've gathered at least on YT is that the Booker committee made a mistake. I finished JAMES, which even the bookies had as the winner, the other day, and it's one of the best contemporary novels I've read in quite a while and will probably go on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. And the Bee Movie is great!

I was really into this book, but I got so bored with the descriptions of Earth and clouds. I finished it by skimming over these repetitive descriptions, and yet I’m not unhauling it. I loved some of the prose and the ideas on perspective. I mostly loved the characters.

huh, and that's how i got the news. I mostly read SFF so I'm glad the only shortlisted book i read won.

Once again it seems clear that a book has gone right over my head. (I identify with the guy sneaking out of the painting)

[@WonkyWonko]

Fully agree (about bees.) Not about the book (I haven’t read it.)

Time to check out Harvey’s books. Plus the Booker Library at Piccadilly Circus.

Hey, just to let you know. Velas-KEZ. In Spanish, 'que' and 'qui' are pronounced KE and KI, like queso and quinoa
