Doing the first three Patrick Melrose volumes.
We did Never Mind for our book club last year I think, I believe there was a collective gasp (no we don't all read in silence in the same room) when getting to *that* specific part.
Bought the next two but haven't read them.
I got Seamus Heaney’s Beowulf translation. But that works best if I read it out loud in a thick West Country accent, so not one for the quiet carriage
It comes up quite a bit in The Salt Path by Raynor Winn which is some non-fiction that's also worth a read. Always wanted to walk the SW Coastal Path.
