Sometimes we all need a gentle reminder that the world looks better unmediated by a screen. That’s why we’ve started encouraging our readers to enjoy the bookshop phone-free and minds open!

As Ferlinghetti once said: “Stash your sell-phone and be here now.”

#booksky
A sign outside Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris saying “pocket your phone and let the books work their magic. This bookshop is a no photo/phone zone. Thank you for understanding”.

Since they have to “be in work”, will they be exempt from the salary tax deductions that would otherwise pay for the benefits they are not allowed to claim?

Great response to people who don’t read fiction

(from The Assistant by Bernard Malamud)
He asked her what book she was reading. "The Idiot. Do you know it?" "No. What's it about?" "It's a novel." "I'd rather read the truth," he said. "It is the truth."

Genuine question by the way. Is there a grammatical precedent underlying these choices?

I know the use of third-person-singular for groups etc passionately divides Brits and Americans… But shouldn’t the subheading therefore begin “Its songs…”, for consistency?

After 8+ years, starting with the very first Remainiacs in May 2017, this is my last show as host. It’s been a privilege and an adventure to work with so many great panellists, producers and guests and we’ve had the best listeners. Thanks to all of them. I’m still doing Origin Story though. Cheers!
