The Comfort Book by Matt Haig
5.0
Random but significant - it's the thoughts you know you should be thinking.
I feel Matt Haig is a little like me. A list maker, with random words of wisdom popping into his head now and then but not making the most cohesive whole. Well, I'll be doing him a disservice (as his fiction is superb), but I do like the hodgepodge feel of this book.
You can browse and find something comforting or inspiring. You can read it cover to cover and enjoy it that way. There's no real theme other than the above - words to bring comfort and inspiration when you might be needing them.
The author reads this in the Audible edition. No offence to you Matt, but I might have liked another voice actor to read this out to me, you're not by any means a poor narrator, but I'd have liked the soothing tones of a Brian Blessed, or a Morgan Freeman (out of budget maybe?!) to soothe these thoughts into my psyche.
A wonderful collection of snippets, and a perfect audio choice for the car or for a run. It's as though a friend is giving you advice.
Short but pertinent.
With thanks to Nudge Books for providing a sample Audible copy.
