A Good Read is a radio programme that invites guests to discuss their favourite books. The guest discusses the book and the other two people – host and second guest – have to read it and discuss it as well.
In November last year, I attended a recording of a special edition of the show in the Old Vic on King Street. I couldn’t think of what book to choose if I was to go on the show so today I am forcing myself to pick one.
I’ll go with My Brother Jack by George Johnston. This is an Australian book which I read years ago and loved.
David’s brother was the antithesis of his own “namby-pamby” self during their harassed boyhood.
