I devoured classic novels as a teenager. In a world of distractions, can I relearn how to read them?
In less than a decade, surrounded by screens, I lost my ability to read some of the best books ever written. But, inspired by the Guardian’s 100 best novels list, I was determined to get it back

An important read - one more part of the puzzle that shows the bulldozer-doctrine of Donald Trum et. al. Tear down, disrupt, create chaos everywhere - and enrich yourself in the process.

"The American government’s most prominent foreign-policy theorists have transferred their domestic obsessions to the outside world, projecting their own fears onto others". Read Anne Applebaum's take on the Trump administration's National Strategy Document. It is analytical, chilly and scary.
