Keeping The food of the gods and how it came to earth on my list. Is it one to read in short sittings or would you save it for a quiet weekend?

Orla, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

The food of the gods and how it came to earth is one I am weighing up. Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.

Caoimhe, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

For anyone considering The food of the gods and how it came to earth: The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.
