readings in 2017

So as 2018 staggers into the headlights it's an apt time to note back on what else read in 2017, probably two books that stuck in the mind most were the Barbara Comyns and the Roland Buti, but also Ralf Rothmann and Shirley Jackson bowled me over.

Thanks for reading, all the best to you.
