All of the essays engage – there isn’t a dud in the bunch – which is perhaps a result of their succinct length . . . but also down to the honesty and thoughtfulness of the contributors . . . Like the best kind of selection box * Irish Times * A treat – one that will propel you on a journey of discovery * Independent * What Writers Read is the perfect stocking filler for the bookish person in your life . . . Gorgeous stuff * Red Magazine * At a time when 413,000 young people in the UK don’t own a book, this is a timely and important collection of essays on the vital role reading plays in challenging and inspiring us all * Guardian *
