Brendan O'Connor · Summer Holiday Book Recommendations “It’s Sinead’s memoir, and she’s reading it – it’s very intimate” · 4 Jul 2026 podcast

Not for me, no, no.

And nor would I recommend anything too intellectual.

You don't want to be reading Dostoevsky on the beach, you know.

But at the same time, it has to be something that engages you because you're probably going to be putting it down, picking it up, you know, going in for a dip or...

grabbing a drink or lunch or whatever, you need to be able to pick it up and kind of get right back into it.

So anything that really kind of engages you or stimulates you is a good idea, but maybe not so much self-improvement or intellectual.

I mean, the great thing about audiobooks is that you can basically read while you're doing other things.

On holiday, I'd rather just read for the sake of reading.

So often in sort of Monday to Friday, I might find myself trying to get through my books via audiobook because I'm doing other things.

I do have a stack of books that I feel like, you know, it's not a burden, but it's something you need to get through.

Yeah, so I wasn't sure whether to, when it came out in 2021, I think it was sort of still in the middle of the pandemic and I wasn't quite sure whether I should get the book or the audio book.

I ended up getting the audio book and it was the best thing I ever did because it's her memoir, but she's reading it herself and it feels almost intimate, like almost too intimate.

You can hear her breathe.

You can hear her laugh.

And of course, in light of her passing, it's this extraordinary insight into her life.

And I'd always felt like I had some sort of connection with her, even though it was inexplicable.

I'd never met her in real life.

And then after reading or listening, I should say, to this book and then obviously her untimely demise, I...

I felt like I'd lost someone I knew, you know, and I think we all did.

But especially after this, this book, you know.
