I have The Employees on audio. Only listened to a tiny bit, but can’t wait to listen to the rest. Glad you enjoyed it.

Bellezza, I have not read any of these yet. I’ll add them to my gargantuan TBR list.

The Dangers of Smoking in Bed is the only one I’m already waiting for from the library. I’m more inclined to read from your shortlist than the official one, though!

Hi Bellezza,
You’ve hit a few titles! Looking forward to the ultimate winner.
On another note…
May has arrived! Our Read Along of The Brothers Karamazov begins. Actually readers who’d like to join can start any time during May, they just need to note the first posting (Part 1) three weeks into the month. Full schedule of the four postings is listed on Ripple Effects. Here’s the link to my Invite Post. Looking forward to your rereading insights! 🙂
