Book Prize

I like Sky Arts’ Book Show. I think Mariella Frostrup is a great host. I like the format of the show. I think the show pitches a good balance between intellectual and accessible.

However, one element disturbs me each week.

The competition prize.

You can win each of the books that the guests have picked in answer to the question about the character in literature they would most like to be. But you also win this Book Chair.

I love books. I quite like chairs. But this is just wrong. Hideous.
