Meet the Bookworms! - Huw Bell

Our Bookworm for November is Huw Bell, with some straight forward, no-nonsense recommendations…

How do you help at the Bookshop?

I volunteer on Saturdays.

Favourite Author (and why!)

Cormac McCarthy, for the perfect relationship between language and content.

Favourite Book (and why!)

Nineteen Eighty-Four or Koestler’s Darkness at Noon, for sentimental reasons and because they explain the whole 20th century.

Something you've been reading recently that you'd recommend?

Martin Middlebrook’s The First Day on the Somme or Anthony Beevor’s Arnhem - two very readable classics.

Your pick of a book that's currently in store or online.

Eminent Victorians by Lytton Strachey - four biographical essays, all brilliant
