  1. Finished ’s Sense of Style. His stand against the fatuous rule that proscribes “this”, & prescribes “this,” delights me. Moved on to ’s Evolution of Everything. Brilliant writer, 200% right on science, I forlornly hope his Brexit stance turns out right too

  2. Yes indeed. And now here’s a novel idea: why not tell us what the correct postcode is?

  10. I’m told Charlie Chaplin came 27th in a competition for Chaplin impersonators. And some of Churchill’s stirring wartime broadcasts were actually impersonated by the actor Norman Shelley – PM himself too busy. Was he more Churchillian than Churchill? It wouldn’t surprise me.

  12. Now listening to The Sense of Style, by that consummate English stylist Steven Pinker. Among much that is wonderfully quotable, I take special delight in this: “ . . . postmodernism, which rejects the possibility that any word can ever refer to anything . . .”

  13. .’s literary craftsmanship is that of a seasoned novelist – not what we ordinarily expect of a theoretical physicist. The science is impeccable & mind-expanding, the story a near-unbearably pacy thriller, the characters believably likeable. A treat to read.

  17. Sad to learn of the death of Monty Python's Terry Jones. I didn’t know him especially well, which made me all the more touched when he made a wonderfully witty, impromptu speech for me, at the Vice Chancellor’s dinner to celebrate my retirement in 2008.

  19. I’m listening to the audio version of Sunfall, ’s debut novel. It’s excellent, exactly how good science fiction should be: gripping story, beautifully told, while at the same time being scientifically well-informed.
