Desert Island Books is a series of articles being created by the NUH Library Services department.
They’re asking members of staff and other people associated with the hospital which books they would take to a desert Island.
They have a website with all these booklists here So if you are looking for some inspiration for your next read, why not take a look.
Recently, NHR’s very own Rajiv Hasan was asked about his list of books for a stay on a desert island, and of course, he obliged. you can read his story and list here
Some of these booklists have been recorded into audio format and we are adding these to the NHR Podcast.
