BBC Radio 4 Bookclub

[TGS]

"Bookclub" is a monthly Radio 4 programme in which a writer meets an audience to talk about their work. The BBC makes 100plus of these programmes available here. So, this is not a specific recommendation, but a place that you might hear something that sparks your interest and leads to you reading something you might not have thought of.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't have the BBC in my bookmarks. Now I do.
