Perfect little treat for book lovers like me (us). A very impressive rosta of writers share their favourite books, and there’s a real mix of entries! Some are serious, some poke fun at early pretensions. There’s Monica Ali, Dolly Alderton, Benjamin Zephaniah, Lisa Taddeo – to name but a few! But all are really thrumming with the love for books, reading, and writing! There are some awesome book recommendations in here.
Some of the author recommendations I got down:
Eve Babitz
Andrew Salkey
bell hooks
Milan Kundera
A really guaranteed feel-good and engaging read that highlights the power of books to lift us up. There’s so much power in reading here, and the fact it’s been made to benefit the National Literacy Trust feels very apt.
Side note: this would be a nightmare question to answer! Maybe I’d veer towards the childhood read (we all have those books that ignited our love for reading) and go with something like The Traveller In Time from Alison Uttley.
What would you write about?
