I loved The Glutton. An astonishingly good book. I'm sorry to say it, but I can't get into Sally Rooney. I don't know what it is about the books, I just can't get into them. I haven't done any Booker reading for very long time.
It's about time I went back to reading the titles on the Booker shortlists. I used to do it as a matter of course, but in recent years I've read practically none. I might not strictly be missing out, but I'm sure I'd gain a lot by going back to reading them—even the monotonous ones.
Your post has been a nudge back in the reading direction!

So glad to hear you liked the Glutton!
I think it’s the best (contemporary) book I’ve read this year.
