One of his six favorite books, as told to The Week magazine:
Pictures at a Revolution by Mark HarrisRead about the other books on Hornby's list.
Harris' brilliantly researched study of the five films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar in 1968, following a pivotal year in Hollywood history, is my favorite book about cinema. It's enormous fun to read but also extremely accomplished: Harris understands the collaborative and random nature of the business better than anyone else I've come across.
Writers Read: Mark Harris.
