A day late for the February roundup (thanks a lot Amazon and your internet destroying bugs!) It was a good month.
pickA book which I read many years ago and still have fond memories of. A story of Sammy, an alcoholic and flawed human being who wakes up in a prison cell, beaten and blind in a drunk tank after a weekend bender. The story is told from the viewpoint of Sammy in a thick Glasgow brogue, but it is worth persevering as Sammy seeks to negotiate his way through the disaster that his life has become.
This book had such an impact on me. The voice is unique and reading it was very similar to the slow but rich enjoyment of Feersum Enjin, only in Scottish dialect. Now there is a new book , Dirt Roads, I think, about a Scottish father and son wandering through the American South, on my to read list!
