You're about to listen to a BBC podcast, but this is about something else you might enjoy.

My name's Katie Lecky and I'm an assistant commissioner for on demand music on BBC Sounds.

The BBC has an incredible musical heritage and culture and as a music lover, I love being part of that.

With music on sounds, we offer collections and mixes for everything, from workouts to

helping you nod off, boogie in your kitchen, or even just a moment of calm. And they're all put

together by people who know their stuff. So if you want some expertly curated music in your life,

check out BBC Sounds. This is the BBC.

Hello, I'm Harriet Gilbert. Thank you for downloading a good read, the podcasts,

where two guests and I recommend books we love and describe why we love them. We don't always

see eye to eye, but I hope you'll find some great

reading suggestions here. Hello, today I'm joined by journalist, broadcaster and novelist Tony Parsons,

whose 18 books so far include Man and Boy, and most recently the best-selling series of

Max Woolf Thrillers, of which the latest Girl on Fire came out this spring.

With Tony, it's writer and presenter Oli Mann, who with Helen Zaltzman presents the comedy podcast,

Answer Me This, and whose other shows include The Modern Man and Radio 4's The Mail Room and For Thought.

Tony Parsons, to you first, your good read is. My good read is Big Little Lies by

Leanne Moriarty. I read this book about a year ago and I loved it so much that I went out

and read nothing but Leanne Moriarty books for the rest of the spring and the summer. And it

just had that kind of impact.

I think if you love books, maybe every 10 years or so, you get a writer like that where

they just make such an impression on you.

You think I'm going to read everything they've ever written.
