Amor Towles - You're Booked

Our American sojourn continues with a trip to Manhattan's Gramercy Park and a visit to the esteemed, million-selling author Amor Towles! Amor is the writer of the bestselling titles Rules of Civility and A Gentleman in Moscow which was a recommended read of both Bill Gates and Barack Obama as well as appearing on a multitude of best of the year lists. We talked to him about reading the canon, inhaling James Bond and the amount of time you're allowed before giving up on a book.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - The SisterhoodAmor Towles - Gentleman in MoscowAmor Towles - Rules of CivilityEdith Wharton - Collected NovelsHarold Bloom - American CanonMarcel Proust - Remembrance of Things PastPaul Scott - Raj QuartetHerman Melville - Moby DickPhilip Roth - American PastoralPhilip Roth - Human StainRoss Macdonald - Collection Raymond Chandler - Big SleepFranklin W Dixon - Hardy BoysRay Bradbury - StoriesAgatha Christie - CollectionJohn Le Carre - Tinker Tailor Soldier SpyJohn Le Carre - Honourable SchoolboyGabriel Garcia Marquez - 100 Years of SolitudeFyodor Dostoevsky - Crime and PunishmentRhik Samadder - I Never Said I Loved YouThomas Mann - Magic MountainThomas Mann - BuddenbrooksNaguib Mahfouz - Cairo TrilogyNaguib Mahfouz - The QuarterHarry Matthews - The ConversionsJonathan Lethem - Motherless BrooklynJames Baldwin - Go Tell It To The MountainFlannery O’Connor - Complete StoriesSloan Wilson - Man in the Grey Flannel SuitDavid Goodis - Black FridayAnthony Powell - Dance To The Music of TimeKazuo Ishiguro - Remains of the DayFord Madox Ford - Good SoldierGrace Metalious - Peyton PlaceJohn Cheever - Wapshot ChronicleWalker Percy - The MoviegoerAdler & Van Doren - Great Treasury of Western ThoughtEmily Post - EtiquettePhilip Gourevitch - Paris Review InterviewsVarious - WPA Guide To New York CityRaymond Carver - Selected StoriesAnton Chekhov- Short StoriesKingsley Amis - James Bond Dossier Hosted on Acast.
