A Good Read

Charlie Higson, actor, author and comedian, joins clinical psychologist Dr Tanya Byron and Sue McGregor to talk about their favourite books.

They discuss Thérèse Raquin by Émile Zola, set in the dingy back streets of Paris; Metamorphosis And Other Stories by Franz Kafka, covering bureaucracy, loneliness and isolation; and From Russia With Love by Ian Fleming, with a plot by the Russian secret service to trap James Bond.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2007.
