Enjoy your time off Simon. I'm going to miss your videos but everyone deserves time off to relax and recharge. Best regards from your California fan! I'm reading Sociopath now on my Kindle (about 70% complete). I'm enjoying it very much and I hope you do, too.

Shark Heart is amazing - I read it at the start of the year and wasn’t sure I’d like it but it blew me away! It’s definitely unexpected and unhinged.

Scaffolding by Lauren Elkin could provide the messy relationship vibes. It’s a really thoughtful, literary, kind of heady, kind of sexy (& queer!) novel set in an apartment block over two time periods.

Enjoy your break, Simon! I hope it’ll be everything summery and light and fun and delicious 🏹 And I wish you the best of times with Strout - and whims as well. Idk why but when you asked for a Challengers-ish book, I thought of Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan (very much fits the sexy, unhinged vibes), and I’d be so curious to hear your thoughts.

Can’t wait for Babylonia to get here! I ordered the gorgeous Goldsboro Books edition since I also have the Goldsboro edition of Clytemnestra. I adored Clytemnestra completely and I’m so excited to read her next book! Stopped the video after you described Selamlik and went to order it. Sounds fantastic! No idea if this is an “un” book, but I just started The Betrayal of Thomas True by AJ West about molly houses in 1715 London last night and I’m loving it so far. See you after your break. Hope you relax and enjoy! 💜

UN-hinged: recently read (listened to) Big Swiss by Jen Beagin. Cast of madcap characters, giving Fleabag energy. Genuinely funny. I know you don't do fiction audiobooks but the deadpan humour is delivered so well by a full cast of narrators. It was a roar.

If you go, visit the island of Suomenlinna off the coast of Helsinki & the national library Oodi.
