This week we travel to the sunny Kent coast to meet writer, reader, podcaster and Brookner fanatic Andy Miller. Andy is the author of The Year of Reading Dangerously: How Fifty Great Books Saved My Life and the co-host of the fantastic and highly informative Backlisted podcast. We were allowed VIP access to his exclusive reading shed where we discussed life-changing books, Dan Brown, Peanuts versus Proust and, of course, Anita Brookner.BOOKSAndy Miller - The Year of Reading DangerouslyAndy Miller - Tilting at WindmillsAndy Miller- The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation SocietyHilary Mantel - Beyond BlackPhilip Roth - EverymanLuke Rhinehart - The Dice ManMikhail Bulgakov - Master and MargaritaEM Forster - Howards EndGeorge Eliot - MiddlemarchCharles Bukowski - Post OfficeHerman Melville - Moby DickIris Murdoch - The Sea The SeaJohn Kennedy Toole - A Confederacy of DuncesPatrick Hamilton - 20,000 Streets Under the SkyLeo Tolstoy - Anna KareninaGabriel Garcia Marquez - 100 Years of SolitudeCath Carroll - Never Break the ChainSimon Reynolds - Rip It Up and Start AgainColin MacInnes - Absolute BeginnersGraham Greene - Brighton RockAnita Brookner - A Start in LifeDan Brown - Da Vinci CodeLee Child - Killing FloorGabrielle Moss - Paperback CrushCraig Brown - Ma'am DarlingAnita Brookner - Look At MeJean Rhys - Tigers Are Better LookingJean Rhys - Wide Sargasso SeaSylvia Townsend Warner - The Corner That Held ThemNora Lofts - The Town HouseMarcel Proust - In Search of Lost TimeCharles M Schulz - Complete PeanutsEdward St Aubyn - Patrick Melrose NovelsAnthony Powell - Dance To The Music of TimeHilary Spurling - Invitation To The DanceTove Jansson - Moominvalley in NovemberTove Jansson - Moominpappa at SeaMary Stewart - Ludo and the Star HorseRussell Hoban - Riddley WalkerPenelope Fitzgerald - The BookshopPenelope Fitzgerald - The Beginning of Spring See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
