Ep 8: Short Contemporary Classics

This week’s episode is a brief encounter with short contemporary classics and the lilliputian tomes under 200 pages we recommend if you’re looking for something to get you out of a reading slump. We also talk book news, what we’ve been reading recently, and the titles we’re looking forward to picking up in May. Recent readsMinistry Of Time by Kaliane BradleyPlayworld by Adam RossEx-Wife by Ursula ParrottShort classicsFair Play by Tove JanssonThe True Deceiver by Tove JanssonLucy by Jamaica KincaidSuch A Fun Age by Kiley ReidThe Fifth Child by Doris Lessing Ben, In The World by Doris LessingWe Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver The Tenth Man by Graham GreeneWhat we’re reading nextSoft Core by Brittany NewellDeep Cuts by Holly BrickleyThe Emperor Of Gladness by Ocean VuongLet Me Tell You by Paul GriffithsLet Me Go On by Paul GriffithsAlso mentioned @LadiesLitSquadDisney+ Dying for SexDolly Alderton and Netflix’s Adaptation of Pride & PrejudiceCan You Ever Forgive Me DuneA Complete UnknownWellness by Nathan HillLong Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-AknerFollow us on Instagram @curiousreaderspodcast for more recommendations in between episodes Hosted on Acast.
