Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 42nd Anniversary Edition

~ Illustrations by Chris Riddell

I'm looking for illustrated books or special editions of famous novels. Do you guys have any "beautiful books" recommendations?

Actors and their favourite books

Tom Hiddleston - Any human heart

Hiddleston mentioned in a tweet, that this was one of his favourite novels.

Colin Firth - The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

"I don't think I've ever read such descriptions of what it would be like to lose your grip. He has a vision that makes you less sure of your surroundings—and I find that stimulating."

Natalie Portman - Cloud Atlas

"This was the present I gave everyone I knew for three years. It's six different stories told in different time periods and genres: One is historical fiction, another is a '70s thriller mystery, the sixth is a post¬apocalyptic story"

Daniel Radcliffe - The Master and Margarita

"It's now my favorite novel—it's just the greatest explosion of imagination, craziness, satire, humor, and heart."

Timothee Chalamet - And then the End will come

Chalamet mentioned in an interview, that he really loved this book

Morgan Freeman - The Poisonwood Bible

“Some of the best writers are women writers – Barbara Kingsolver, Joyce Carol Oates. They just don’t get enough play.”

Margot Robbie - The five poeple you meet in heaven

I love that book. It felt very different, moving and heartfelt. It made me think. It’s a quick read, it’s a good one to recommend over the holidays.”

Cate Blanchett - The true history of the Kelly Gang

"Carey is one of my favorite writers. In Kelly Gang, the narrative voice is so unique. We Australians all know about Ned Kelly, but what Carey does is get inside his character's mind in such an illuminating and heartrending way. Aand there's not a trace of sentimentality in it. I so admire that as an actor, because I realize how difficult it is to do."
