Night Boat to Tangier - Kevin Barry

 Audiobook

`

OK, so its not very often that I do one of these, but I had a fairly long drive, and thought as I change  to music, Audiobook.

Written and read by the author. Whose, Irish accent rolled over vowels in the way in which only the Irish can.

The book starts and ends in a ferry port in Spain. Two older gentlemen (using the term lightly),  there on the off chance that they may spot someone.

Said gentlemen both had a colourful past, being drug barons, moving coke, hash, crack and heroin. Using them all as well.

There's the usual sidelines of property and bars around for laundering.

Keep an eye out for the occultist dealer, she brings a light all of her own to the book.

Lovecraft Country - Matt Ruff

(Audiobook)

Let me first state this. This book is far removed from what I was expecting. Not a bad thing all in all, and a fully enjoyable trip.

Set in 1950's America, it follows the (mis)fotrtunes of two related African American families, and a lodge where segregation seemed as far out of place, as the staple tradition of PB&J. Oh yes, the lodge. Full of alchemists.

Enjoy.
