Anne McElvoy talks to the Argentinian-born writer Alberto Manguel. Once described as 'the Casanova of reading', Night Waves will be asking him how he feels about reading off-screen rather than the printed page - will the computer and the rise of the electronic book bring about the end of reading as we've known it?

And Anne will be scaling the heights of Westminster Abbey's Chapter House to see restoration in action. She dons a hard hat to talk to stonemasons and the head of English Heritage about the major repair job that's been undertaken on George Gilbert Scott's 19th century recreation of a medieval roof.

The novelist Aminatta Forna joins Night Waves to talk about her new book - exploring the nature of love and psychological damage against the backdrop of a Sierra Leone trying to recover from its violent past.

And as science comes under ever-increasing scrutiny, how can scientists stand up to that scrutiny rigorously, to make sure that conflicting views on different areas of science are properly represented?
