The Warden - Anthony Trollope

I still have Orbital to read. Also ‘James’ by Percival Everett, who is the only author on the list whose books I’ve read before. Don’t think I will read Huckleberry Finn first though; hopefully James will still make sense.

For some reason I decided to read all of the books on the Booker Prize shortlist. I think it’s because I hardly ever seem to read anything published after the 20th century. I don’t think this one is for me, either. Will take a break after this and treat myself to A Christmas Carol.

Held - Anne Michaels

The Safekeep - Yael van der Wouden

Justin Tucker not having a good day, it’s fair to say.

Finishes 34-26 Cowboys. It was 10-9 at the end of the third quarter.

Now the cowboys return an onside kick for a touchdown. This is mad.

This game is now officially ridiculous. 30 seconds left and Washington just scored from an 86 yard pass. Seibert then missed a SECOND extra point. 27-26 Cowboys.

FFS. Commanders get it back to 20-17 and the Cowboys return the kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown.

Creation Lake - Rachel Kushner

20-9 now. Looks like it’s going to be three defeats in a row.

10-9 Cowboys with 11 minutes left. The Washington offence has been very worrying so far.

Fair to say Commanders v Cowboys is a defensive slog so far. 3-0 Washington.

The Proof of my Innocence - Jonathan Coe

Leave it to Psmith - PG Wodehouse

When We Were Orphans - Kazuo Ishiguro

I did Brighton and Hove a few years ago and found flash cards very helpful.

Dance Dance Dance - Haruki Murakami

The opening of The World at War features Oradour-sur-Glane, with narration by Laurence Olivier. It’s incredible television.
