Robson Green's six best books

Robson Green is an actor best known for the TV dramas Wire In The Blood and Soldier, Soldier.

He told the Daily Express about his six best books. One title on his list:
THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA
by Ernest Hemingway

A short but beautiful novel about the relationship between a young boy and an old man and the old man's struggle to catch a giant marlin. I love the respect that the man has for his quarry. I also admire the novel for its economy of style.
Read about the other books on Green's list.

The Old Man and the Sea appears among Dave Boling's five best examples of how to structure a novel.
