Anna Macleod is in conversation with two guests about their favourite books. This week, Domhnall Ruadh Smith and Charles Wilson discuss books of special interest to them. 

Domhnall Ruadh’s choices include ‘Seeing Further: The Story of Science and the Royal Society’, by much-lauded writer Bill Bryson, and book on a cultural and nomadic journey through Australia, 'The Songlines’, by Bruce Chatwin.

Charles’s choices include ‘1984’, George Orwell’s quintessential dystopian novel where ‘Big Brother’ is watching, and beautifully illustrated Welsh folklore epic 'An Mabinogi', translated into Gaelic by John MacDonald.

As well as discussing their favourite books, each guest has recommended a book for the other to read and we’ll find out in the programme whether they enjoyed it - or not!
