So is this a World Cup for novels, or summer reads, or just books? Asking for a friend

Just tell your friend to add something readable. I bet you can add a book too.

Just tell your friend to add something readable. I bet you can add a book too.

I'll tell my friend to add three books now I know - or at least think I know - that it's about adding something readable

I’m on holiday in Italy and I’m reading Hotel Avocado by my fellow resident of Tun Wells, Bob Mortimer.

Both his books have had a great Brighton connection. I researched and found he went to Uni here and I more than likely stood next to him in somewhere like the Druids Head back in the day.

Both great books by the way but I preferred Satsuma

Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh
