Are you enjoying that book you’ve got on the go? A survey of 2000 people found almost a quarter of them said they would never give up on a book – they’ll stick with it, however bad it is. Critic, writer and presenter James Walton talks to Winifred Robinson about why we persevere.

First broadcast on You & Yours, 23 April 2018.
