I'm supporting the #GetBritainReading campaign! It can be hard to get back into reading, so try taking just ten minutes. Set a timer if you have to! Short stories are great – I'm reading the excellent new collection from @uncertainstories.com…

It’s exasperating when an applaudable pro-reading campaign largely ignores the role of public libraries. Why not publicise a resource that already exists. Maybe @thetimes.com is sidestepping the politics of a diminishing statutory public service? #GetBritainReading
