Those sound great. And belated props for your Shaggy Dog Stories post which finally persuaded me to read Mezzanine after all these years. Fabulous. I think the way the author digresses and digresses within digressions (etc) is exactly how the monkey mind works. For some odd reason it reminded me of Diary Of A Nobody but it's so long since I read the latter I couldn't pin down why. Several more from that post made it into the to-read pile, which will overwhelm me one day absolutely for sure.

Thank you. I'm always looking for another good book.
I also reviewed Dr. No in my year end wrap up. I had no idea another book was coming out. Can’t wait to read James!
I'm intrigued by a new David Small book but I admit Stitches kind of traumatized me. We'll see! Thanks for the great list.
Fantastic recs. Great to read about these.
