Favourite Books of the Rich and Famous

By January 16, 2016June 19th, 2018Reading Habits

We may not confess to being followers of the Glitterati, we may struggle with the frou frou nature of many of today’s celebrities and the inanity of celebrity culture but there are many actors and celebrities who are much more than what they may at first appear to be.

After all who doesn’t love a celebrity who reads.

I feel a sudden affinity to actors and celebrities that I didn’t have before reading about their favourite books. Strange that.
