Are we falling out of love with nonfiction? In the early 2020s, readers flocked to books to explain political turbulence. But is the world now too grim to read about โ€“ and are podcasters taking the place of authors?

my view on this is that publishers should stop it with the 80k wordcount obsession, so many contemporary non-fic books are obviously 40-50k pieces of work stretched to the extent that they become very boring to read - just let people write cheaper, shorter books! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

I love the Peter Cook story when somebody in the queue in front of him said to the maรฎtre d of a restaurant "Don't you know who I am?"
Cook raised his voice and said to the entire restaurant while pointing at the rude customer "Excuse me, can anybody help? This person has forgotten who he is."

A very good post day! I always enjoyed @jambookshopuk.bsky.socialโ€™s cartoons in Private Eye so was excited to see there was a collection of them in one handy book. A fun little personalisation inside was a lovely surprise, thank you! Check out David Ziggy Greeneโ€™s account for this and more #booksky
