In this love letter to reading, curated by Pandora Sykes in aid of the National Literacy Trust, bestselling and beloved writers share their favourite books: the ones they hold most dearly, that they return to time and again and that helped make them the writers they are.
With contributions from:

All of the essays engage – there isn’t a dud in the bunch – which is perhaps a result of their succinct length . . . but also down to the honesty and thoughtfulness of the contributors . . . Like the best kind of selection box - Irish Times
