As a writer, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead was one of a small handful of literary works that opened my worldview and completely shifted my perspective on writing and what could be achieved with language. Just brilliant. Rest well, Tom Stoppard. #BookSky
Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88
A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter

My Buy Nothing group is always a source of fascination for me. There is always a story. This week a woman is slowly giving away a house full of Harry Potter merch. All the books. A blanket. Two wands, one with a magic case and map. “This one really hurts," she wrote.
And so say all of us.
