Review at Book Reviews Cafe - bookreviewscafe.wordpress.com/2025/03/26/r...

I'm the least irritating apparently. Nicest thing anyone's ever said. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkt3...

Steve Aylett's THE BOOK LOVERS (2025) Aylett heres like pynchon meets zelazny. Against the day in october (Yes very Edgar sci fi type)

Newly arrived book post. Slaughtermatic by @steveaylett.bsky.social blew my mind back in the day with its wild style & exciting storytelling, so I'm really looking forward to this.

They dream satirically in The Book Lovers www.steveaylett.com/thebooklover...

To all the book worms out there…Happy World Book Day. Right now Holly is reading A Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce and David is reading The Book Lovers by Steve Aylett What have you lot got on the go? Any recommendations? (No shite)

More grim evidence from my private journals.

Just finished and highly recommended. More literate folk than me have said it better but it is dazzling, discombobulating, vertiginous. I can do little better than quote the first line (although it’s utterly rammed with the quotable): “A book is like you and me - glued to a spine and doing its best”

"Aylett provides page-turning and head-spinning in one go. The Book Lovers is Aylett’s best book yet, a loaded weapon that assembles the world it creates, then fires, while it mysteriously clarifies the world that surrounds us." - Rick Kleffel 🪐📚🧐💙📚 narrativespecies.wordpress.com/2025/02/19/s...

Steve Aylett explains the three types of energy at play in his The Book Lovers. The third is hilarious and spot on. The Book Lovers was my favourite book of 2024. Listen to our whole conversation at etceteraetc.podbean.com/e/episode-61... @steveaylett.bsky.social #books #podcasts
