Today’s holiday read. Unashamed fantasy! The lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. A darker homage to Fritz Leiber’s Grey Mouser. A rattling good swashbuckling yarn. #fantasybooks #booksky

I was thinking, there must be a Japanese word for it!

Aikiman @aikiman.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Is there a word for the joy of introducing someone to a favourite book and them loving it too? I feel we have too few words describing the pleasures of books. Either that or I need educating in them! #booksky

No tube book today but a holiday book. Hoorah! Haven’t been able to put it down - Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft. Beautifully written fantasy, reads like a classic novel and a page turner to boot. #holidayreads #fantasybooks #booksky

Today’s tube read; a truly great author. Read this back to back with Cannery Row to see why. ‘All human life is here’ #booksky #tubereads

IMHO one of the greatest sword and sorcery books ever. Fantastical yet realistic, comical yet with a dark brooding menace. How wizards should be! #booksky #swordsandsorcery

Planning (and buying) my ‘holiday reads’. First on the list is a book I’ve always wanted to read but never got round to it. Love a bit of swords and sorcery 😁 #booksky #holidayreads

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion. But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

The right-wing press pushed a false narrative against ending the private school tax break… Will they now issue a correction…? They run the same narrative against a wealth tax... it’s equally false.

Richest 1% in the UK have - £2.8tn The poorest 70% (everybody with less than £650,000) have - £2.4tn That means if you took half the 1%'s wealth and gave it to the poorest 70% they would get 60% richer, and the 1% would still be more than 20x richer than them.

First read this book as a 13 year old when I randomly picked it up in my local library. Lovely bit of nostalgic reading 😁. #booksky #LoveLibraries
