The Uncommon Reader
Alan Bennett
I love Bennett's writing style. He is the playwright of the absolutely amazing play, The History Boys, and I have loved his work ever since. This book is about the Queen of England becoming interested in reading, so much so that it totally distorts her customary roles. Bennett has a great intellect and wit, and both shine in his writing. He is one of my new favorite authors.
4.5 out of 5
Go read it.
