Joss Ackland's 6 favorite books

Joss Ackland, distinguished English actor who has appeared in over 100 movies, played Andrei Lysenko in The Hunt for Red October and Arjen Rudd in Lethal Weapon 2.

One of his six favorite books, as told to the Daily Express:

BIRDSONG
by Sebastian Faulks

They made a television movie of this recently which I thought was good but the book, about suffering during the First World War, is marvellous. It’s very accurate and brings that period to life. It really struck a chord.

Read about another book on the list.

Birdsong is on Stephanie Beacham's six best books list and Nicholas Farrell's six best books list.
