Ranil Dissanayake on X
Ranil Dissanayake is an economist and fellow at the Center for Global Development. I think you'll find it's a little more complicated than that. Half man, half birdwatcher. Fellow @CGDev, DPhil candidate @BlavatnikSchool. Views my own.
84, Charing Cross Road
Helene HanffRanil DissanayakeOn world book day, 3 books about books: 1/ 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff Drips with the love of books--the physical objects and the writing. It's hilarious, lovely and ultimately very moving. 84 Charing Cross Road is now a McDonalds, which never ceases to make me sad. https://t.co/aZhY1A0jG0

I'm super excited about this one.
