      agree!! and the narration by the author is one of the best i've ever heard, his voice is so pleasant

  • @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711

    I really enjoyed Glorious Exploits. I am holding off on the new Rumfitt despite appreciating Tell Me I'm Worthless. Thanks for finding all these to amuse us.

    These all sound very fun! Thanks for the list

    Hooray for more Booker content while we wait for the longlist!

    Great video! I have Beautyland and Glorious Exploits. Hoping I enjoy both. Brainwyrms…I’m not sure if I want to read it in or not.i just read Tell Me I’m Worthless last month and while I found it clever, it was also a tough read for me. I can’t imagine what Rumfitt’s writing is like when they’re actually trying to disgust you. 😅

    We should start our own prize. Some of these books deserve award stickers on the jacket just for getting published.

    So excited that my local library has Beautyland. Sounds fascinating.

    Oh how good would it be if Alison Rumfitt got the accolades she deserved. Haven't read Brainwyrms yet but loved Tell Me I'm Worthless.

      She's doing something very special isn't she? I doubt the Booker is going to go for it, but I would love it if they did.

  • @readandre-read
    @readandre-read Před 29 dny

    I want to read Beautyland! Every Booker list needs one oddball title so maybe one of these will sneak in.

  • @TyroPrate
    @TyroPrate Před 29 dny

    Say Hello To My Little Friend is fantastic. I almost didn't read it because it sounded a little too self-consciously quirky, but I'm so happy that I did.

    • @GunpowderFictionPlot
      @GunpowderFictionPlot  Před 29 dny

      That's good to hear, it sounds a little too much, but I'm still very curious.

    Thanks for making a video of books to avoid! 😂 Seriously though, hope you're feeling better. Are you still going to do a prediction video?

    • @GunpowderFictionPlot
      @GunpowderFictionPlot  Před 28 dny

      Thank you. I've already done a prediction video, it's about 10 days old. 😊

  • @NovelFindsByKassi
    @NovelFindsByKassi Před 28 dny

    I'm really interested in your comment at the end that says that Mary and the Rabbit Dream could be perhaps a nod to tate or peterson. Could you elaborate on this in another video? Or, perhaps, elaborate in a reply? This book isn't available yet in the US so I'm not able to make the connection at the moment (or, there might be something really obvious I'm not connecting because I'm a weirdie : P). Love your videos!

    • @GunpowderFictionPlot
      @GunpowderFictionPlot  Před 28 dny

      I've not read the book, I was just making a joke about being believing anything they're told.

    fax machines enabling alien communication? count me in 🤣
    The BrainWyrms cover has such a retro feel, but I don't like the taste of my own vom in... I think I'm too much of a wimp for it.
    fab spotlight of some truly weird sounding books 👍

    • @GunpowderFictionPlot
      @GunpowderFictionPlot  Před 29 dny +1

      Yeah, at just after the halfway point Alison Rumfitt asks her readers to take an intermission, get some fresh air because it's about to get serious fucked up and I'm like, what was a warm up? It's intended to disgust you; but her first novel (Tell Me I'm Worthless) while still a bit out there, is much more what you're expecting of a punk horror novel.

    re use of fax machines: I think that means that almost all of Germanys city governments are actually aliens.... would explain a lot 🤣
