Sits alongside Levels of life by Julian Barnes as books that capture that wholly individual and almost inexpressible process that is grieving the one you love.
What strikes me is that, among other achievements, he exposed so many challenges from religious experts as childish trick questions. Mess with me, mess with the majority of the population, and you will most likely confuse and trap us. But thank goodness we had a man like Hitchens to make the argument plain and forceful.
My feedback thread is here.
The Revenant. A book about men with beards to be read by men with beards. I've not seen the film but it's a fairly straight narrative so it's an obvious one to put on celluloid.
Moving onto The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Great Gatsby is my favourite book but this is the first of his other books I've bothered with.

Enjoying catching up with an old friend.
The guy is intelligent, funny and very open. ( I am guessing he actually produced this work without a ghost writer. I hope so anyway).
Stephen King is actually better when he doesn't do horror imo. His characterisation of little town America is first class. Stories like The Body, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Shawshank Redemption are where this works best.
Annoyingly, my charity shop hauls keep throwing up every other Logan McCrae book, so I have gaps I have to pay full whack Kindle price for.....but definitely working my way through them all, great books.
