A bharrachd air bruidhinn mu thrì de na leabhraichean as fheàrr leotha tha gach duine air aon dhiubh sin a mholadh dha chèile 'son a leughadh agus gheibh sinn a-mach anns a' phrògram co- dhiù an do chòrd na leabhraichean riutha - neo nach do chòrd.

Anna Macleod is in conversation with two guests each week about their favourite books.

Roddy MacIver reads from Raymond Chandler's classic crime thriller The Long Goodbye, and in Roddy's opinion, the best opening of a book ever written. Roddy also selects Dìomhanas by Finlay MacLeod, as a collection of beautifully and keenly observed short stories.

Mairi Bremner takes us on a Long Walk to Freedom with Nelson Mandela's compelling autobiography and reads from The Robe, a novel rich with adventure, faith and romance by Lloyd C Douglas. As well as discussing their favourite books each guest will have chosen a book for the other to read and we'll find out in the programme whether they enjoyed it - or not! Show less
