Caitlin Moran is one of Britain’s most beloved and unmistakable writers: a critic, columnist, novelist, memoirist, feminist, and full-time detonator of cant. A longtime columnist for The Times, she is the bestselling author of How to Be a Woman, Moranifesto, How to Build a Girl, More Than a Woman, and What About Men? — books that combine wild comic velocity with a deep seriousness about class, culture, bodies, books, politics, teenagers, mothers, daughters, men, women, and the general hoo-ha of being alive. So perhaps it’s no surprise that, when asked to choose ten favorite books for One Grand Books, Moran included the dictionary: the book that contains all books, just “not yet in the right order.”

Below are Caitlin Moran’s favorite books, available to purchase as a set or individually.
