Massaging the old joints with a bit of Antony Beevor
About this episode
Welcome to Monday! Jane is off today and tomorrow, so we’re bringing you a big book special today… Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times, joins Fi to discuss his current book recommendations, being an intellectual snob, deliciously bitchy writing, why you should avoid poets, and Ed Balls doing the Gangnam Style dance.
Our next book club pick is 'A Town Like Alice' by Nevil Shute.
Our most asked about book is called 'The Later Years' by Peter Thornton.
