What book would you like to snuggle under covers with, and why?
"After a hectic time promoting my second book I think I would like to dive undercovers, and stay there, for some time. The books I would choose would be a mix, old favourites like Julius Caesar, Ghalib’s poetry. And a couple of new ones: How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer, The Idea of Justice by Amartya Sen"
