Time and again, writers are asked the same questions about their favourite books: What are they? What's the book you wish you had written? What's the book that changed your life?

In What Writers Read, Pandora Sykes – herself a voracious, omnivorous reader – collects short essays from bestselling and beloved writers, to discover the books they hold most dearly and made them who they are.

Curated and introduced by the award-winning writer and broadcaster Pandora Sykes, What Writers Read is a love letter to reading and the life-changing power of books.
