Thanks to whoever it was who recommended Jean Echenoz's Command Performance, a very funny book with an enjoyable writing style and an appealingly odd plot.

I am really enjoying this book on Korean folk art and its symbolism, a Christmas present from my daughter. Fascinating writing and gorgeous pictures.

I've been eking out the 19 short stories in Sam Selvon's Ways Of Sunlight since before Christmas. The first half are set in 1940s/50s Trinidad and the second set are in 50s London. It's a terrific collection, bittersweet, full of vivid stories with great dialogue, friendship, and a lot of humour.

Just read the first 70 pages of On Earth We're Briefly Grgeous by Ocean Vuong (a present from my daughter). Mesmerising writing!

Not to mention Nigel Blackwell from Half Man Half Biscuit's equally incendiary tribute to that.
