MaxFirst #book of the year, and very likely to be my favourite book of the year (yes, it was released last year) - Service, by John Tottenham. An essential read if - a) you've ever worked in an independent #bookshop, b) you enjoy #BlackBooks, or c) you're a grumpy misanthrope with a literary background. I don't believe I've ever identified with the protagonist of a novel more than this. (I had to check the author several times just to make sure someone hadn't secretly published my diaries.) #books #Service #JohnTottenham #booksoftheyear https://www.semiotexte.com/service
ZumbadorBooks I read in 2025 that I'll read again because they were so awesome (some of these are violent and dark, so do your own research for CWs)
