Bryony Gordon & Hollie McNish

Chess, drugs and dentistry - the two writers chat to Harriett about their favourite books.

Telegraph writer and podcaster Bryony Gordon is with poet and author Hollie McNish on this week's A Good Read.

Bryony loves Rachel鈥檚 Holiday by her writing hero Marian Keyes; Hollie hoped the The Queen鈥檚 Gambit by Walter Tevis would improve her chess; and Harriett Gilbert finds both absurdity and pain in Reasons to be Cheerful by Nina Stibbe.

Producer: Sarah Goodman
