In fiction, Robert fell in love with [[Chinaman byShehan by Shehan Karunatilaka]]. After the 1996 World Cup, dying sports journalist WG Karunasena decides that the world needs ''a half decent documentary on Sri Lankan cricket''. He sets out to make the said documentary, focusing on the mysterious Pradeep Mathew, the 1980's spin bowler he considers to have been his country's greatest ever player. But Mathew disappeared some time ago and everywhere Karunasena turns he is faced with more complications as he tries to find out more on what happened to him. Robert says it's beyond fantastic. So there!
In non-fiction, Trish is recommending [[How Not To F*** Them Up by Oliver James]]. Child psychologist Oliver James can be relied on to fight his corner, whether it's about affluent society or toxic parents. Now he puts the first three years of life under the microscope. It's a jolly good, thought-provoking read. Unless you're an anxious parent with a child in day care, that is.
