It‘s arrived! How exciting! I can‘t thank you enough for this book.
I‘m so excited to read this one!
💛🧡💙💚❤️💜
pickCreepy, disturbing, uncomfortable, yet utterly compelling.
I‘m not even sure I actually liked it- but it was fascinating and I‘ve disappeared down the rabbit hole of internet opinions for the last hour seeing what reactions are like to the last chapter.
@Cathythoughts I love your posts as you were reading it - it truly does wreck your mind! Very clever, though still undecided about the ending.
#HeatOfJuly #blurredlines ENGLEBY is not everyone‘s cup of tea. But I loved it. Lots of blurred lines in the story , and in Englebys mind.
pickThe author says he dreamt this character & the book flowed out of him , that he didn‘t
“Write it “
I find this fascinating .
For all his madness , I found a great clarity in Englebys thoughts.
This is murderous, upsetting, bleak , & poignant
But for me , it was always brilliant !
“ people are like icebergs , we only see this little piece at the top “
“.....I have a world in my mind , in the inexhaustible repertoire of my memory “ ....🙏🏻
I‘m almost halfway But I can tell you , this is so real & brilliant. A serious contender for Secret History ... I‘m riveted like I havnt been sinse The Secret History... so human , so beautiful, insightful, & creepy , all at once . The narrator is perfect ( Audible) 🎧 Loving this book. 👍🏻❤️Sabastian Faulks is now seriously on my TBR , I wouldn‘t want to miss anything of his writing
@MayJasper what would you recommend next !!!!🙏🏻
Latest Audible as it‘s time to start preparing Sunday lunch .... audio-cooking .... I‘ve only started, but I have to say it‘s pretty amazing ...so good ❤️
When I was deciding what to read after finishing Ready Player One, it was a toss up between this and The Refugees. I have had this on my bookshelf for about 8 years, so I'm keeping it to hand so that I get around to it this year!
Sebastian Faulks : Engleby ! Has anyone read this ? They are raving about it on the radio at the minute... it‘s about 30 years old ? Can‘t find it on Litsy... they are making a great case for it in the radio discussion.... I think it sounds great ... I‘m very interested
Narrated in the first person by the main character this is such a clever novel. As the tale unfolds you bit by bit begin to feel more and more uncomfortable. Only near the end do you realise you have been deceived. I would recommend all Faulks books.

Have you ever been lonely? No, neither have I. Solitary, yes. Alone, certainly. But lonely means minding about being on your own. I've never minded about it.

I'm in the Secret History club for favorite book that takes place at a college, but this one is a close second. It's the perfect blend of charming English college snobbery and bone-chilling creepiness.
