A lady reads a book in Eugène Grasset’s Poster for the Librairie Romantique

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! “What’s with the politics? Stick to games!” is a common refrain you might hear from the sort of winning individual who thinks books are a communist plot to lower their sperm count. Luckily, those people are elsewhere, so I hope you’ll allow me a brief moment of relief that the Tories are no longer in power. This is a great thing, providing you have absolutely no follow-up questions! This week, it’sQWOP,Getting Over It, andApe Out’s Bennet Foddy! Cheers Bennet! Mind if we have a nose at your bookshelf?

A meme that Bennet Foddy sent me.

Frustratingly, Bennet did actually name roughly 80% of all the books ever written, but insisted on piling them all up as they went. He’d just got to ‘L’ when the entire stack collapsed. We’re not starting again, so pop back next week for another cool industry person telling us about their favourites. Book for now!
