after 40 years as a news reporter & producer for the BBC, my library is disjointed, to say the least. Now that I am happily working with the books team, I am keenly catching up on my reading, lead by the splendid authors who walk into my studio and our book club. Most recently I have enjoyed Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain, Andrea Levy's Small island and Howard Jacobson's The Finkler Question.

Producer of the Guardian Books Podcast. We includeinterviews
with English language authors from around the world, we follow themes in discussion or sound portraits, we report on many of the major literary prizes and we make copious recommendations for reading. Our presenters are the team at guardian.co.uk/books, also now to be found through our US page guardiannews.com.

To start you off, here's an idea of what we did last year 2011:
