“I’m dreaming. I must be. I had a few drinks too many last night, and I’m having a funky dream…I pinch myself on the arm to try and speed the process along, but nothing happens. Without thinking too much about it I aim a punch at the wall, and the resulting pain that reverberates through …
After my week looking for people out and about reading books, I realised I’d missed something important: assuming people are reading, where do people go to buy these books if not online? Apart from Waterstones, the list of booksellers on the high street is not exhaustive. Now, this is not a rant against the all-conquering Waterstones. I actually like Waterstones.

On the third day I decided I needed to leave the house and at least communicate with other human beings, so I went down to a local café to write. It was packed, but no one was reading. The most I saw was a group of people in Star Wars t-shirts hunched over a board game; and behind them a group …
You hardly ever see anyone reading anymore, which is a bit of shame when working for a publisher for whom so much time and energy goes into creating lovingly crafted books.
