Tomorrow, The Blind Light comes out in paperback. It is #IndieBookshopWeek. Why not pick up a copy from one of my favourites such as @BookBarUK @BurleyFisher @Ink84Books @Bookishcrick @newsfromnowhere @NewhamBookshop

Delighted to get my first Brexit benefit! EE just told me that soon I'll be able to use calls, texts and data in the EU from just £2.47 per day! It's great, because that's a full £2.47 a day more than they were obligated to charge under EU legislation. Win.

Really looking forward to this - do come along!

Chime! It's Orbital for the win. Well done, Sam Harvey! So deserved.

This is the first year in ages I've read all the Booker Shortlist. I loved three, enjoyed two and was entertained but not massively enthused by one. Hoping for Orbital or Held as the winner.

In my continuing descent into the Thomas Mann hole, I watched Death in Venice last night. It's a superb performance by Dirk Bogarde, but my god, an entire hour of a man's furtive glances at a young boy is more than I could take.

I'm just going to read The Magic Mountain. And keep reading it.

This was a lot of fun to do - and a really great documentary...

This review of The Extraordinary Miss Flower is amazing. I'm so glad people are enjoying it. deadline.com/2024/10/the-ext…

I've got lost in The Magic Mountain. Why have I not got lost there before? It feels like a book written by someone entirely possessed by literary intent. And I would never have bothered had it not been for another genius work, Olga Tokarczuk's The Empusium.

Ask and ye shall receive. Little Fluffy Clouds as performed by Donald Trump

Can someone please use this speech to the tune of Little Fluffy Clouds by The Orb nitter.gq/Acyn/status/1844444488…

Han Kang? Interesting choice.

As livestreams go, this is excellent.

The most important literary prize in the UK with a shortlist that is utterly superb. I wouldn't want to pick the winner, but if I had to, it would be Spent Light.

I did wonder why there are so many kids wearing Nirvana t-shirts these days.

Went to Fortnam & Mason yesterday. The instore music was a lush orchestral version of Don't Look Back in Anger.

If my mum saw this, and I bought it for her, she would disown me.

Usually avoid theatrical versions of books, but very excited to see The Years tonight.

I find things my kids do irritating, but the mother who told off her kid twice for turning the pages of (the adult version) of The Week "too loudly" while she was sitting in a different bank of four chairs on the train made me feel like a saint.
