Five of the Best: Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins is one of the best-selling authors of non-fiction in the UK. Well known for popular science classics such as The Selfish Gene, his most recent book is last year's anti-religion polemic The God Delusion. He joins Mariella Frostrup to reveal the part that fiction plays in his life, and chooses five of his favourite books.

Jos茅 Saramago: a Reader's Guide
The Portuguese novelist Jose Saramago won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature. His latest novel Death at Intervals is out this month. Mariella is joined by a Saramago fan, the translator Amanda Hopkinson, to discuss his work and pick out some of his most enjoyable books.

Clare Morrall
Five years ago Clare Morrall was surprisingly short listed for the Booker Prize for her book Astonishing Splashes of Colour, a debut novel published by a tiny independent publishing house. Now she talks to Mariella about her third novel, The Language of Others, explains how her work as a music teacher has found its way into the book, and reveals why she's so drawn to characters who can't quite understand the world they live in.
