    A MASSIVE thank you to the peerless @jonawils - the supreme football writer of our age - for joining us on location in Budapest. He flew overnight from Cairo, via Warsaw, to record the episode with virtually no sleep. A great man. So BUY HIS BOOK, which is brilliant.

    RT @dcsandbrook: Today on @bookclubpodhq we're in New York in 1951, exploring the world of J. D. Salinger's THE CATCHER IN THE RYE. Iconic text of teenage rebellion or vastly overrated? Why was Salinger so reclusive? How and why did Holden Caulfield become a hero to millions of readers?
