Andrew McCarthy shares his favorite books

Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities are reading — whether it’s a timeless classic or the buzzy bestseller they can’t put down? Welcome to Page-Turners, where stars reveal the books that keep them hooked, inspired and up all night. Warning: your TBR pile is about to get a lot longer.

Brat Pack member and bestselling author Andrew McCarthy loves to switch back and forth between physical books and audiobooks, depending on the genre.

“I seem to read novels and listen to nonfiction,” McCarthy — whose new book “Who Needs Friends: An Unscientific Examination of Male Friendship Across America” is on sale now — tells Page Six.

The “St. Elmo’s Fire” star explains he likes the physical copy of novels so he can “paint pictures in my head of what I’m reading,” while a nonfiction audiobook helps him “process information.”

In his new book, McCarthy sets out on a road trip to reconnect with old acquaintances after his son called him out for not having any friends.

“I kind of felt exposed in a certain way,” he recently told The Post. “Kids will just say what they perceive to be the truth, and attention must be paid, you know?”

See below for McCarthy’s six must-read book recommendations.

“I love the hard-boiled detective genre, and Hammett is one of the original masters. Set in ‘Poisonville’ — need I say more?”

“It requires a lot of guts to take on a modern retelling of Dickens’ David Copperfield.’ This book succeeds wildly, with an amazing narrator, who is indeed ‘the hero of his own story.’”

“A wild yarn about surviving the shame of one fateful decision. Nobody gets between thoughts and paints pictures like Conrad. An amazing book from the master.”

“A delicate family sage set in Cape Bretton, Nova Scotia. Nothing seems to happen until you realize everything has happened.”

“The Nobel Prize-winning author’s first novel. She took it with her in a suitcase when she left Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe now) as a young woman. It’s harrowing.”

“It’s the story of connection and an active look at the value of friendship and the place it has in our lives — set along 10,000 miles of American backroads. Hopefully you’ll pick up the phone and call that friend, or better yet, go see them!”
