Goodreads asked Ian Backhouse:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Ian Backhouse When I write I purposely don't read, as even without realising it, phrases, stylistic forms and so on can creep a little into my writing. I need to keep my work genuinely fresh and unique so as much as I hate it, I'm not reading very much at the moment as am already writing the next book, 'Alice Malign'.
