Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the second half of October’s book, 2666 by Roberto Bolaño (from the dot on page 445 (where the new sentence mentions ‘Calle Santa Catarina) to the end if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll read the first half of a book together (that I've never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month), I'll discuss the second half of the book (in this case from ch.7 to the end). We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to [email protected]. The book we’ll be reading for November is The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). We’ll be reading up to page 107 (up to the chapter that begins “SEEMOTHERMOTHERISVERYNICE…) - just over half way. The first podcast will be on 12th November. Thanks for listening to BookShook!
