Iain Stephen Morrison and Amina Davidson discuss books of special interest to them. 

Iain Stephen Morrison from South Uist and Amina Davidson, who lives in Glasgow, discuss books of special interest to them. 

Anns an t-sreath seo, bidh Anna Nicleòid a’ còmhradh ri dithis neach mu na leabhraichean as fheàrr leotha. An t-seachdain-sa, ‘s iad Iain Stephen Moireasdan à Uibhist a Deas agus Amina NicDhaibhidh à Glaschu a bhitheas a’ taghadh nan leabhraichean agus tha an dithis aca air leabhraichean a mholadh a tha a’ togail deasbad. 

’S e neach-naidheachd a th’ ann an Iain Stephen a tha ag obair mar fhear-deasaiche air a’ phàipear-naidheachd Am Pàipear.  Tha e cuideachd an sàs ann an croitearachd. A’ chiad leabhar a thagh e ‘s e The House with the Green Shutters le George Douglas Brown a tha stèidhichte ann an sgìre dhùthchail ann an Siorrachd Inbhir Àir. Mhol e cuideachd an leabhar aig Patrick deWitt, The Sisters Brothers a tha mu dheidhinn dà bhràthair a’ siubhal tro na stàitean ann an 1851 mar mhurtairean tuarastail le cùmhnant airson dithis a mharbhadh.
   
Chaidh Amina NicDhaibhidh a thogail ann an Dùn Èideann ach an-diugh tha I a’ fuireach ann an Glaschu ag obair mar neach-ciùil agus anns na meadhanan. A’ chiad leabhar a thagh Amina ‘s e leabhar uamharrach le Stephen King, Doctor Sleep. Seo lean-sgeul a’ sgrìobh King às dèidh The Shining. Tha an dàrna leabhar aig Amina gu math eadar dhealaichte – Òrain Luaidh le Màiri Nighean Alasdair, seinneadair à Uibhist a Deas. 

Aig deireadh a’ phrògram, bidh Iain Stephen agus Amina le taghadh a dhèanamh dè an leabhar ‘s fheàrr leotha a-mach às na ceithir leabhraichean a bha iad a’ còmhradh mu dheidhinn. 

Anna Macleod chats with two new guests about their favourite books. Iain Stephen Morrison from South Uist and Amina Davidson, who lives in Glasgow, discuss books of special interest to them. 

Iain is a journalist who works as the editor of the multi award-winning newspaper Am Pàipear. He is also a crofter. His first book choice is the House with the Green Shutters by George Douglas Brown which is set in rural Ayrshire. His second recommendation is a book written by Patrick deWitt called The Sisters Brothers. It is about two brothers who are hired assassins travelling through the Northwest of the USA in 1851 to kill two businessmen.
     
Amina spent her early years in Edinburgh but is now based in Glasgow where she works as a musician. Her first book recommendation is a horror novel by Stephen King called Doctor Sleep. This is the sequel to The Shining. Amina’s second choice is very different and it is a collection of waulking songs sung by Màiri Nighean Alasdair (Mary MacDonald) from South Uist.

At the end of the show, each guest has to determine which of the four books they would like to take home with them.
