Weekend reading

Norman Geras: A kind attempt to help fill gaps in your weekend, if you have any.
  
  


This post is a shameless plug. But that's not all it is. It is also my kind attempt to help fill gaps in your weekend, if you have any. For the past 43 weeks on normblog I've been featuring writers writing about books. Well-known journalists - including some who write regularly for the Guardian or have done so in the past - as well as novelists, poets and other writers, have contributed their thoughts on books that have been important to them in one way or another, or books they have simply enjoyed. If you're looking for something to read, you could try Philip Pullman on the novels of MacDonald Harris, or Susan Hill on Hotel Savoy by Joseph Roth. You could test your wits against Francis Wheen's view of Marx's Capital, or Nick Cohen's account of Terror and Liberalism by Paul Berman. You could read Michael Walzer on The Company You Keep by Neil Gordon, or Choman Hardi on a recent Kurdish novel, The City of White Musicians by Bachtyar Ali.

And that's only six of your options. There are another 37. The full list - of the writers and the books they've chosen - is here. Whether you avail yourself of it or not, have a good weekend.
