@Shrabonti All male productivity twitter is like that including Cal Newport's Deep Work which is much praised on here, but never by a woman. One day I will write about this ( when I feel like being more productive).

The Terror

Dan Simmons

I have so few book reccos these days because I read old, old books from the library. But I have not put down Dan Simmons "The Terror" the whole day. Absolutely riveting novel about Arctic exploration based on true events with a soupcon of supernatural.

Feel like if SBF had bothered to read the cautionary "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou-or even listened to the podcast- he might not be filing for Chapter 11 right now. https://t.co/4uAVRhZQvO

Ben Power
Kavitha RaoKavitha Rao

Londoners, totally recommend going to see Sam Mendes' incredible " The Lehman Trilogy" about the rise and fall of Lehman Brothers. Utterly brilliant direction, script, acting, sets. Modern theatre, so cheap seats still have good views.

Wolf Hall

Hilary Mantel

Hilary Mantel was truly such a great writer, thinker, woman, anti-royalist. Wolf Hall may be the most deserving Booker winner ever, and Hilary the most deserving double winner. Rest in power.
