The competition in our latest newsletter asked people to tell us their favourite book and why they chose it to be in with a chance to win the full MCG reading list.

The winner was Matt Cooper who chose The Throwback by Tom Sharpe. Matt says:

“It’s not the best book I have read (by a long way), but I love it because it makes me laugh and also because it taught me about the birds and the bees. I secretly think that is exactly why my dad gave it to me which is another reason I love it. Both because he needed a book to do it instead of explaining himself and because it’s still the only book he’s ever given me.”

We were so intrigued by Matt’s suggestion (mainly because we want to know about the birds and the bees) we’ve added it to our list and he’ll be receiving his book box from us soon.
