Book Review - Happy as Larry - Thomas Hinde

Will Chambers 2024-05-21 | Book review of Happy as Larry.

Some other resources available on the book:

nytimes.com/1958/04/20/archives/an-enemy-within-happy-as-larry-by-thomas-hinde-294-pp-new-york.html

And I realise I chided Thomas Hinde based on what I thought was his class due to being a Baronet, however, his life based on the description on Wikipedia disproves my claim - I am left then to say this is not of the same working class vibe but shall we call it lower middle class? Working class adjacent, perhaps?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hinde_(novelist)

Mr. Nicholas (1953)
Happy as Larry (1958)
For the Good of the Company (1961)
A Place Like Home (1962)
The Cage (1962)

You Cant Handle The Truth Tag (Original)

@davidnovakreadspoetry
youtu.be/du7XLAuRRa4?feature=shared

@KDbooks
youtu.be/j50DSpOlf-Q?feature=shared

Questions I've asked myself and want to hear your takes on them....

What do I want from Booktube?
What concessions have I made to cater to an audience?
Do I want followers or friends? and what is that tipping point?
(sub question - how many people will I follow?)
Am I realistic in what I'm talking about with my reading?
Am I a competitor or a collaborator?

Appreciate if this gains no traction as it is a mood killer from the mostly happy go lucky vibe of Booktube.
