Here is the @guardian's top 100 books of the century including novels by Kazuo Ishiguro, Sally Rooney, Rachel Cusk, Peter Carey and Sebastian Barry. Which books would you add to the list? theguardian.com/books/2019/sep…
Today we have mostly been reading "The Birthday Boys" by the brilliant Beryl Bainbridge. Thus far, the book is less alliterative than the title @littlebrown
We always recommend Svetlana Alexievich to everyone. "The Unwomanly Face of War" is brilliant, awe-inspiring and humbling.
Congratulations to #Chernobyl on winning three #Emmys last night.🎊 If the show has left you wanting to know more about the nuclear incident, pick up one of these brilliant books, which cover everything from moment-by-moment accounts to oral histories from those who survived.
