31. The Wall - John Lanchester

I heard the first and the last episode of (I think) Radio 4's Bed at Bedtime reading of this book.

It is a dystopian view of Britain post perhaps sea-level rising or Brexit-type event.

I notice that what used to be Sci-Fi sections of many bookshops are now "Science Fiction, Fantasy and Dystopian".

11 of the best dystopian novels listed here as:
Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner (1968)
Children of Men by P.D. James (1992)
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami (1999)
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (1949)
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1932)
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985)
The Road by Cormac McCarthy (2006)
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (1953)
The Wall by John Lanchester (2019)
Vox by Christina Dalcher (2018)
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (1962)

So that's 6 out of the 11 that I have read, and I could reread any of those.

30. The Big Over Easy - Jasper Fforde

29. Haven't You Heard - Marie Le Conte

The role of gossip in the Westminister bubble

My reading list seems to be mainly generated by my YouTube viewing and my Twitter following,

She talks about the book here and is on Twitter (as @youngvulgarian) here.  She has some of her articles here.

28. Humble Pi: a comedy of maths errors - Matt Parker

Matt Parker appears on youtube channels standupmaths and numberphile and also appears at the beginning and end of this video.  He talks about this book here and here,  So, while reading this book, I heard his voice in my head!

27. To be taught if fortunate - Becky Chambers

Picked up, almost at random, at Waterstones; I noticed it was a signed copy but was attracted by its small size!

Full of good ideas

26. Twas the NIghtshift Before Christmas - Adam Kay

25. Slaying Brexit Unicorns - Edwin Hayward

Rathering like preaching to the choir, but it was free from Amazon for a while.

One aspect that I did learn something about was that the "Remainer Unicorn" that Brexit was all about avoiding EU tax rules was untrue.  I had thought that tax rules was insufficient to explain why the rich wanted Brexit - after all, the rich can move their money about as they wish.

The book was obviously written before the election and so is almost out-of-date.  But if people didn't learn what Brexit was about in the last three years ... they are about to find out.
