I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

pickMan, what a gut punch. It's a novella-length story about a Welsh sheep Farmer trying to make ends meet and recover from the loss of his wife; and a badger-baiter trying to stay one step ahead of the law. The language and imagery is so perfect it reads like antipastoral epic poetry. The course of the story is so inevitable it reads like a myth. Cynan Jones, y'all.

My reading group chose this for a few months time after the author won the bbc r4 short story award. Ive already read it and its an excellently written book about a farmer in north wales dealing with grief as badger baiters invade his land- dogs are central to the plot but it's a tough read at time as they part of the horible enterprise. A brilliant book.
pickThe dig I gave 4/5 stars due to the animal abuse
Something's that meant the world to me 5/5. So brilliantly weird and beautiful

Having read Cynan Jones' #Cove a few days ago - which I *loved* - I decided to dig out my copy of The Dig (pun intended) that I remembered being given years ago.
