Haven‘t posted; have been reading! Most recent the last 2 volumes (The Man in the Wooden Hat & Last Friends) of the Old Filth trilogy. Rashomon points of view of story for each volume - husband, wife, lover. Working on my pile of TBRs, not helped by adding new purchases! Making a dent, though.

Suet624 Wow! Amazing number of books! 2y
Tonton @Suet624 I wasn‘t keeping count or anything. Just dived in this year to escape doom-scrolling; to get off Twitter; and a lot less work. Can‘t quite believe it😎❣️ 2y

Finally finished the Old Filth trilogy - perhaps being in England was the extra motivation I needed. The three books share such an odd, charming writing style.

DrexEdit I just bought the first of these books the other day. Looking forward to it! 😊 5y
MaGoose I started Old Filth a while ago but never finished it even though I was enjoying it. I'll have to begin it again soon. Hopefully the second time will be the charm and I'll get it done. 5y

I have Gardam's Old Filth, which I first heard about on an episode of @ReadingEnvy but still haven't read it. It wasn't until I got this one home from the thrift store the other day that I found out it's the third in Gardam's trilogy, which begins with Old Filth .

SharonSmith I read Old Filth a while back and recommend it. The story jumps around a bit - the main character is very curmudgeonly - but its a well written, sad and poignant book. 7y
ReadingEnvy I have to admit that I did not get into Old Filth the first time I tried it. 7y
LeahBergen The only one of her books I have read is this one 👇🏻 It was trippy! 7y

Although I did not like the second book as much as the first (which I really enjoyed very much), I am starting the third one today. Give the last part of the trilogy the chance to be a great conclusion.

Großartiger Abschluss einer wunderbar britischen Trilogie. Ich mag die alten Haudegen und die toughen Frauen, die nur nach außen hin im Hintergrund stehen.

sanne_ru Das hört sich viel versprechend an. Die Bücher kommen gleich auf meine Wunschliste. 8y
Liedie Mir haben die ersten beiden Bücher auch sehr gut gefallen. Dann kann ich mich ja auf den abschließenden Band freuen. ? 8y
Sarah83 Ich würde ja auch so gerne. Aber bisher sind die ja noch nicht als Taschenbücher raus. 😭 8y
MoniMaccheronis Wie traurig bist du über den finalen Band auf einer Skala die bei 1 beginnt und mit 10 endet? Wie schade ist es fertig gelesen zu haben? 8y
Papiergefluester @MoniMaccheronis eigentlich gar nicht traurig, weil die drei nicht wirklich eine Reihe sind, sondern einen Kreis bilden. Ich freue mich darauf, irgendwann wieder von vorne zu beginnen und die ersten Bände mit dem Wissen der folgenden neu zu entdecken 8y
