They don't do star ratings in the @newscientist, but if they did, I'd have awarded ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to @tiffanyjenkins's history of the rise and fall of privacy, STRANGERS AND INTIMATES. Read my review in the latest issue: newscientist.com/article/mg2663…

This was indeed an enjoyable conversation! Not least because @LeorZmigrod's THE IDEOLOGICAL BRAIN – about the amazing neuroscience of our beliefs – is surely one of the books of the year.

Being a #BGPrize2024 judge was one of the most enjoyable, most rewarding things I've ever done. I hope the new batch have just as good a time. But I also hate them all a little – out of jealousy and because they've supplanted the best-ever judging panel.

Jack is irritatingly clever, wise, funny. But not so irritating that I haven’t signed up to his new newsletter. You should too.

If you want to understand how Trump got here today, might I recommend @meridithmcgraw’s TRUMP IN EXILE, which I reviewed here: prospectmagazine.co.uk/culture/67971/…

I enjoyed my chat with @JohannaTC and @tobymundy last week – and enjoyed writing it up, too. Click below for my thoughts on self-help books and the other non-fiction literature we ignore.

Looking forward to announcing—eek!—the @BGPrize shortlist this evening, and discussing world-changing books with @JohannaTC and @tobymundy. It’s already sold out, so there’s no hope for the ticketless. But I’m sure there’ll be some way of catching up. cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/the-boo…

I’ve been off social media recently because… y’know. But must return to say what a joy it’s been being a judge for #BGPrize2024. So many rewarding reading hours – and a few meetings in the company of my dauntingly brilliant fellow judges – have brought us to the longlist today:
