      I really like lots of books, for a long time my favourite was a book called The Last Dragonlord by Joanne Bertin, it’s about people who can shapeshift into dragons but theres a love story in it an politics and drama and all sorts, its very exciting. My favourite book that I read recently was Midnights Children by Salman Rushdie, its very long but its very interesting and well written.

      My favourite book is Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell…it has recently come out as a film, which I watched at the weekend and it was also excellent! I love it because it has multiple stories, all linked together in small but interesting ways, and it also has a good moral point about how we need to take better care of our planet.

      I love reading and my current faves are Life of Pi by Yann Martel. I’m a big fan of Stephen King – 11.22.63 was amazing, as was Under the Dome.

      Patricia Fara is great also, she a historian. and I really love Catharine Arnold who writes a lot of social history of London – ‘Bedlam, London and it’s Mad’, was really good, this was about a psychiatric hospital founded in 1247.
