Comedians Nish Kumar and Katy Brand tell Harriett Gilbert about their favourite books. Katy's choice is the hilarious Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth. But does it still stand up after all these years?
Nish introduces the two white people in the studio to Why I'm No Longer Speaking To White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge.
And Harriett recommends a collection of poetry, A Scattering by Christopher Reid, that expresses the pain of grieving the loss of a loved one.
