This week we are in the fine company of writer, performer and former doctor Adam Kay! Adam's first book This is Going To Hurt spent over a year at number one in the bestseller list. It became the bestselling non-fiction title of the decade, the bestselling non-fiction e-book of all time and the winner of four National Book Awards. His next three titles, Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas, Dear NHS and his new book for children Kay's Anatomy have become instant bestsellers. We talked to Adam about the therapy of reading and writing, bizarre bodily functions, funny books and why you should never read on the toilet.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - How To Be a Grown UpDaisy Buchanan - The SisterhoodDaisy Buchanan - InsatiableAdam Kay - This is Going To HurtAdam Kay - Kay’s AnatomyAdam Kay (Editor) - Dear NHSMark Watson - ContactsF Scott Fitzgerald - Great GatsbyAlan Bennett - Lady in the VanGraham Greene - Brighton RockVictoria Wood - PlaysJasper Rees - Victoria Wood: Let's Do ItAlan Partridge - I, PartridgeAlan Partridge - NomadRichmal Crompton - Just WilliamPG Wodehouse - Jeeves and WoosterElinor Lipman - On Turpentine LaneEric Carle - Very Hungry CaterpillarJonathan Coe - What a Carve UpJonathan Coe - Middle EnglandJonathan Coe - House of SleepJonathan Coe - Rotter’s ClubMatthew Walker - Why We SleepNina Stibbe - Love NinaSue Townsend. - Secret Diary of Adrian MoleNorton Juster - Phantom TollboothLucy Mangan - BookwormCathy Rentzenbrink - Dear ReaderCathy Rentzenbrink- Last Act of LoveCathy Rentzenbrink - Manual for HeartacheNick Hornby - How To Be GoodZadie Smith - IntimationsZadie Smith - White TeethJRR Tolkien - Lord of the RingsHelen Fielding - Bridget Jones’s Diary See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
