Late night host of Late Night With Seth Meyers as well as podcaster Seth Meyers is an avid reader. He grew up in a household that read a lot of books and his taste in books was influenced by his parents. And today, we will be looking at Seth Meyers’ favorite books to read!
Meyers got his start on Saturday Night Life in 2001 and made a name for himself and in 2014, he hosted the Tonight Show, replacing Jimmy Fallon which he still hosts to this day. He also hosts a weekly podcast with his brother called Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers. Now, we can get back to Meyers’ list of favorite books.
One of Meyers favorite novels is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré. He is a big fan of spy novels and John le Carré is one of the best authors of this subgenre. He loves spy novels so much that he decided to reread them this summer. He has some great novels on this list such as White Teeth by Zadie Smith, and Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng.
Meyers is also a huge fan of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series before they were made into the hit HBO Game of Thrones series. ” I read the “Game of Thrones” books before the TV show, and the Red Wedding on the page was as gut-wrenching as it was onscreen, and I just think it speaks to what a great writer George R.R. Martin is, because my heart literally was pounding through my chest as I realized what was happening.”
