A Good Read: Dame Evelyn Glennie and Sarah Churchwell

Series 836, episode 7

Dame Evelyn Glennie and Professor Sarah Churchwell discuss favourite books with Harriett Gilbert. Internationally renowned percussionist Glennie's rather surprising choice of a good read is Napoleon Hill's best-selling self-improvement book Think and Grow Rich, while journalist and academic Churchwell, Professor of American Literature at the University of East Anglia, recommends Henry James' classic The Ambassadors. Harriett's choice is Curious by the comic actress Rebecca Front, a collection of beautifully observed stories about life's absurdities
