Brief Introduction

Thanks for visiting my page. I’m a writer and podcast host and, as a bibliophile, I’m often asked for reading suggestions, from people of all stripes. Thus I’ve decided it’s time to chronicle 400 of my favourite works in the western canon, from 725 BCE to 2018.

We’ll be covering a wide array of works from Virgil to Dickens, from Virginia Woolf to Christina Stead, from E.F. Benson and Richard Dawkins to Toni Morrison and the crudest of limericks. So, please join me on this journey. You can find my rules for reading or the complete (evolving) list but I’d love you to contact me, anytime, via the link at the top of the page or at fourhundredbooks AT gmail com.

Thanks for coming!
