  • Summary

  • Welcome to the fifth series of The Graham Norton Book Club where we’re all about the stories – reading them, listening to them, talking about them. We have a stellar line-up of authors including two Booker Prize winners – George Saunders and Aravind Adiga, whose The White Tiger has become a smash hit TV show, just like Slow Horses whose creator, Mick Herron, opens our new season. We also feature best-sellers such as Juno Dawson, Kamila Shamsie, Kiley Reid, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah and pay homage to the late, great Terry Pratchett.

    Plus, we’ll hear from the famous voices behind some of the hottest audio books property around – including Clare Balding, Nicola Coughlan, Rory Stewart, Shaparak Khorsandi, Andi Osho Johannes Radebe and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Our passionate band of book clubbers will share their opinions and their scores for our book of the week, and we’ll give you a sneak peek into what’s rising in the best seller lists. If you like books, you’ll love this. Come and join the Club.

    Just to note - Graham and the Club talk about books for adult readers, which means that, sometimes, some of the themes discussed may not be suitable for younger ears.

Absolutely Fascinating!!

I didn’t expect to enjoy this series!!! I enjoy Graham Norton’s writing and voice, so I began listening to relax for sleep!!! Well! I cannot recommend this series enough!
Each reviewer has intelligent commentary. Graham Norton is incredibly smart and enthralling. I was amazed. I’m happy there is a list somewhere of the entire library of books. I am hooked.
