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:

Oliver has totally obliterated my weekend – in a good way! – with this recommendation in today’s edition of the Prospect Culture newsletter —>

Hear from two of our judges, Peter Hoskin and Chitra Ramaswamy, as they go through the #BGPrize2024 longlist on the #ReadSmart podcast with Georgina Godwin: open.spotify.com/episode/3QKHGl… #podcast #nonfiction

“If he weren’t such a bastard and a threat, you’d have to marvel at Trump’s ability to turn adversity into opportunity. Actually, you can marvel anyway.” Peter Hoskin on the man who emerges from Meridith McGraw’s TRUMP IN EXILE: prospectmagazine.co.uk/culture/67971/…

Looking to speak to people under 50 living in unconventional accommodation situations due to the housing crisis e.g sharing a room, shipping container, tiny home, unusual building etc. It's for sensitive feature in Guardian Sat Mag. DM or email [email protected]

Looking forward to announcing—eek!—the Baillie Gifford Prize shortlist this evening, and discussing world-changing books with Johanna Thomas-Corr and Toby Mundy. 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…

The wait is over… presenting the #BGPrize2024 shortlist. Read more here: thebailliegiffordprize.co.uk/inside-the-cov… #nonfiction #bookrecommendations Isabel Hilton @newsbrook Alison Flood Peter Hoskin Tomiwa Owolade

I enjoyed my chat with Johanna Thomas-Corr and Toby Mundy 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.

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

Looking for something to do on a cold November evening? Why not head to the Prospect offices to enjoy a glass of wine and hear Lionel Barber talk about his brilliant biography of Masayoshi Son, GAMBLING MAN, with… er… me? 26 Nov. Tickets here. eventbrite.co.uk/e/lionel-barbe…

And if you’d like to hear me talk about the shortlist and the whole judging process with Hannah MacInnes, tune into Times Radio at 2100 this evening!

🗓️ Join us to hear Lionel Barber discuss his new book ‘Gambling Man’, the biography of one of the world’s least known but most consequential investors. He speaks to our Books and Culture Editor, Peter Hoskin: eventbrite.co.uk/e/lionel-barbe…

Today's the day! Join us at 9:25pm GMT on YouTube and FacebookLive to find out who the #BGPrize2024 winner is: youtube.com/watch?v=qZR88w…  #nonfiction #bookprize #bookrecommendations

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

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.

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

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

Stiltman… stupid idea, but Wally Wood makes it look so graceful #Daredevil
