A little late (my fault!) but this month's Reading Group nomination, as chosen by Ade, is Popular Music by Mikael Niemi.

In Ade's own words:

By all accounts a humourous tale set in 1960's Sweden, and the discovery of rock music by the Scandinavian teens, and one individual's desire to become a rock star instead of concentrating on more atypical Scandinavian pursuits like hunting elk. An international best-seller apparently. and sounds to be a pretty entertaining read.

So there you go, get reading!

This thread will be open for comment at the end of the month.

Doh! With all the excitement of the meet I completely forgot about this - comments anyone?

Has anyone read this yet? I'm about halfway through, and think its a cracking lttle book. Hopefully if I put my mind to it i'll finish it in the week. Will post some more detailed thoughts then.

Been very busy just recently, so I've only just started reading it. Glad the few others who have already done so have enjoyed it. I'll post a few thoughts on it once I get through it!
