Hello reader who is also a reader, and welcome back to Booked For The Week - our regular Sunday chat with a selection of cool industry folks about books! You likely already know that books are made from trees, but did you know that Kindles are made from discarded tree asset packs? My uncle, who is a tree, told me that. This week, it’s the one and only author and games-worder-abouter, Alice Bell! Cheers Alice! Mind if we have a nose at you bookshelf?
What are you currently reading?
What did you last read?
What are you eyeing up next?
What book do you quote from the most?
What book do you find yourself bothering friends to read?
What book would you like to see someone adapt to a game?
Of all the people who would understand that the real point of the column is to name every book in existence, I would have thought Alice was a shoe in. Alas, it was not to be, so pop back next week for another cool industry person telling us about their favourites. No more journos, though. Alice only got in becauseshe writes novels, which are a form of book. I’m not too familiar with her work otherwise, but I get the sense she’d make a damn fine editor. I imagine she’d make every writer she worked with feel great about their work, even while nudging it into decisively better shape. I imagine, should the perfidious, benighted winds of fate ever carry her away, you’d have to salute her legacy so hard you dented your own skull.
