'Normal People' star Paul Mescal reading Sally Rooney's novel aloud will send hearts aflutter

Connell Waldron loves a good book. 

And it would appear Paul Mescal — who played Connell in BBC's Normal People — does too. 

The Irish actor read an extract from Sally Rooney's bestselling novel in a video by Instagram book club, Between Two Books, which is run by Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine. 

The video below — published with permission from Between Two Books — shows Mescal reading a chapter from the book. Rooney fans will recognise the chapter immediately as the moment when Marianne and Connell bump into each other for the first time at Trinity College, Dublin.
