Episode description

In this special episode of the Shakespeare and Company podcast, we look back at our bookseller’s favourite reads of the year.


Some of these titles were published in 2022, others just happened to rise to the top of their respective “to read” piles in the past twelve months…but they all come with the S&Co. stamp of approval.


There’s something for everyone here, from a rock star’s autobiography, to a novel about a 19th century translator’s revolt, to a classic of modern science fiction that spans something like a billion earth years. 


Find the full list below.
