No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy - Mark Hodkinson
Mark Hodkinson grew up among the terrace houses of Rochdale in a house with just one book. He still lives in Rochdale but is now surrounded by 3,500 titles, at the last count. Today, Mark is an author, journalist and publisher.
It's about the schools, the music, the people - but pre-eminently and profoundly the books and authors that led the way and shaped his life. No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy is his story of growing up a working-class lad during the 1970s and 1980s. It's about a family who didn't see the point of reading, and a troubled grandad who taught Mark the power of stories.
It's also a story of how writing and reading has changed over the last five decades.
