In each issue of The Week magazine, they ask a well-known person to choose five favourite books. This week's contributor is Richard Branson, and No 2 on his list is SA. He says, This is one of the ultimate adventure books, and as somebody who has always loved a challenge it is right up my street. AR captured the joy and escapism of youth wonderfully. You can read SA over and over and never tire of it.
His first choice is a biography of Nelson Mandela.
