Enjoying unofficial role as monitor of nation’s public transport reading habit for @thenotoriousguy.bsky.social’s #TenMinuteReadingClub Tonight on from Liv St to Ipswich just one real book in 3 carriages. And me reading the new Jonathan Coe on my phone as mislaid Kindle. Everyone else: phones.

Is that an interesting read, Guy? My first #TenMinuteReadingClub reads are Orlando by Virginia Wolf (Folio Society edition, not really enjoying it) and Recursion by Blake Crouch Kindle edition, loving it).

Six members of the #TenMinuteReadingClub on the tube this evening. Among those books on display, The Bee Sting and one of Andrew Taylor’s Fire Court books. A good haul.

#tenminutereadingclub late to the party on @grindrod.bsky.social’s book on postwar planning (published over a decade ago but new to me) but very excited to be out and about in the garden centre cafe at Towcester to get my ten minutes in…

Last night’s book count on late night Northern line. One woman reading Ta Nehisi Coates, nobody else (including me as talking to family) reading. But also no phones out. #TenMinuteReadingClub

#TenMinuteReadingClub My ten minutes came to an abrupt end as page 35 was followed by page 103…then reverts back to page 87 after 50 or so pages. Big chunk missing! Aaaargh!

#TenMinuteReadingClub Rivers of London (Book One) by Ben Aaronovitch; I know, I’m very late to the party! I really enjoyed this, have Book Two on my kindle already but will read some other books before starting it. 💙 📚

Used to read on the train to work all the time; since returning after Covid I just scroll on my phone. November resolution is to take a book again (in my defence I now carry a laptop about so it’s v heavy - must seek out v light books; in weight if not subject matter) #TenMinuteReadingClub
The #TenMinuteReadingClub simply asks that you devote only ten minutes a day to reading something, anything. Preferably, this would be in public - the intention is to get weight of numbers to not only make it socially acceptable to read in public, but the norm. Literacy is within our control
16.4% of adults in the UK have very poor literacy skills, being unable to contextualise more complex texts. I’m starting (as a simple JMDF project) the Ten Minute Reading Club

Trying to commit to the #TenMinuteReadingClub is hard when I read so much for work, but I’m setting down for some time with my current book: Strange Weather In Tokyo.
Photo from a rainy day in Ueno park Tokyo during our visit there.
