You’ve been reading Zadie Smith’s NW – you have been reading NW, haven’t you? – but what does Smith herself like reading? Here, courtesy of an interview with the Foyles bookshop website, is an idea (you’ll have to scroll to the bottom of the interview to find the list of books).

Incidentally, I nearly wrote “Zadie Smith’s NZ” then. Now there’s an idea for a novel. Suggestions, please, in the comment thread below for how that might play out character- and plot-wise etc.
