What I’ve Been Reading Recently – Tom M

I read a lot (164 books last year – Eeeek!). It tends to float between American fiction, noir and fiction connected to the land, with the odd graphic novel, beat writer and a bit of non-fiction thrown in. And, with two young children, I inevitably get through my fair share of kids books, too.

After enjoying several great Irish authors in 2020 (notably Colum McCann, Caoilinn Hughes and Kevin Barry), I have started 2021 with a resolution to read more novels from the Emerald Isle, so you’ll find a good amount of those in amongst this lot at the moment.
