Books for Breakfast is a consistently lovely listen. The warmth you both offer is so comforting as is the knowledge you both possess about literature/ poetry and about the work of your guests. I enjoy the humour around the timing of the toaster. Your discussion with Andrew Miller was, for me, enhanced by what seemed such genuine affection between yourselves and Andrew Miller. I appreciate you had shared the world of Dublin for 18 months. I have his book, Land in Winter, awaiting my attention. I have drawn so much from others amongst his books and was particularly admiring of Pure. I was so pleased that he chose James Salter whose writing I have also admired. It was good to know I have something in common with such a fine writer. Thanks for the joy you provide through your podcast. Charlie
thanks so much for your podcast episodes. We need reminding of the qualities associated with genuine humanity. Love, Charlie
Greatly enjoyed the Christine Dwyer Hickey episode. Realised that the perspective of a novelist my own age was refreshing after so many recent Irish novels -many excellent - by and about people born after 1980. I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled… Andrew Deacon
