With just two weeks to go until the Booker Prize 2025 longlist is announced, we asked this year's judges to tell us how they're approaching their reading – and to share some tips on how we might all find more room for reading in our lives. A few of their suggestions: 1️⃣ ‘I read eating, queueing, waiting for buses, in a chair in a corner of my kitchen, in pubs and cafes and – once – at the back of a church at a funeral. (It’s what he would have wanted.)’ 2️⃣ ‘It’s quite intense, but consistency does help’ 3️⃣ ‘My finger being a guide on the page has moved me more quickly. I’m maintaining story and plot and specificity about the book, but I kind of let my hand keep me moving’ 4️⃣ ‘There’s only one answer to this, really: make the time’ 5️⃣ ‘I also suggest reading more than one book at a time. I like to make books compete against one another’ Read everything they had to say: thebookerprizes.com/get-to-know-the-booker-prize-2025-judges #BookerPrize #ReadingCommunity #Read...
