Description:	Select Guide Rating This love letter to reading is a philosophical take on why we read and collect books, told through a working-class lens Mark Hodkinson grew up among the terrace houses of Rochdale in a house with just one book. Today, Mark is an author, journalist and publisher. He still lives in Rochdale but is now surrounded by 3,500 titles, at the last count. No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy is his story of growing up a working-class lad during the 1970s and 1980s. 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. 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.
