Ready Steady Read

Join Chris Kane and James Lavery for their Christmas and New Year special show. They'll be suggesting Christmas presents for different members of the family and asking what role Annuals have to play in the twenty first century. And as the first decade of that century is coming to an end, Chris and James each pick the books they think have had the most impact in the last ten years.

Welcome to October’s Ready Steady Read. This month Chris and James discuss what role spy novels have in a world twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. Chris attempts to explain why Google are causing such a stir with their plan to digitise the world’s books. The boys also talk about what they’ve been reading this month, including Dan Brown’s new novel “The Lost Symbol”. And as always, there’s the popular “Bits and Pieces” and the “Book Swap”.Enjoy the show,
