Welcome to Reading with Joy.

This summer, we're reading Pyrinaezi by Susanna Clark, a book about a man who lives in a house

that loves him.

So get yourself a cup of tea.

Sit down and let's begin.

I spread my arms and answer to its spread wings, as if I was going to embrace it.

I spoke out loud, welcome, welcome, welcome was what I meant to say.

But the wind took my breath from me and all I could manage was come, come, come.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Reading with Joy, our summer book club where we are discussing the strange and wonderful book, Pyreneesie.

I am absolutely delighted to welcome on the show today to discuss this

second chapter, which is quite long. They're kind of disproportionate, not disproportionate, but they

have different, different lengths. We'll be talking about the second part, the other today. And I am

welcoming a wonderful guest, Malcolm Gite. It's lovely to have you on. Well, thank you. Lovely to be with a joy. It's nice to

passing through Cambridge and I can connect up with you. I know. It's very fun.

We're sitting here with our cups of tea and just feels like wonderful freedom after a year of

not being in the sea people.

I know. Yeah, it's extraordinary, isn't it?

Sit with a cup of tea and discuss a very good book. For others who may not know, for whom the name Malcolm Guide does not bring up any ideas,

I am very delighted to introduce you because Malcolm is a poet, a priest, a scholar, a rocker,

and a writer of motorbikes.

He is...

He came on the bike to you today.
