A few weeks ago the Guardian ran a feature where they styled rooms inspired by novelists . The top room is for Virginia Woolf, the bottom room is for Ernest Hemingway. I especially like the moody tones of the navy walls - a colour I wouldn't have thought of painting a room. There are more rooms on their site, including a room for Zadie Smith and Haruki Murakami.

Changing My Mind, the occasional essays of Zadie Smith and published by Penguin, won't actually be in the bookshops until November 26th and time to confess that until now I have failed miserably with Zadie Smith's fiction, but I plan a revisit because have all the time in the world for her essays. I managed to desert my post as chief decision-maker about rubbish...throw it...throw it...throw it...

Yesterday saw my office raising funds for Breast Cancer Awareness month with a coffee morning and book sale. I decided to don pink hijab as I do every year and turned up to work to find everyone else had forgotten. A colleague bought me a pink cupcake and we had a look around the table full of books people had brought in. All of the books that looked interesting I had read (A Suitable Boy by Vikram...

Not a pure response to this , since my working definition of "of the decade" is more flexible. Though the Brits are overrepresented (too much reading of the Guardian) my list is more internationalist than the Millions list, plus I like some picture books a lot. Comics aside, there's very little genre fiction on the list: I find it hard to work out what's worth reading, as recommendations,...

This week Amazon announced the UK launch of its latest generation of e-reader. But don't all rush at once, warns one American writer – despite the hype, the Kindle 2 is still no match for the book I ordered a Kindle 2 from Amazon. How could I not? There were banner ads for it all over the web. Whenever I went to the Amazon.com website, I was urged to buy one. "Say Hello to Kindle 2,"...

The consensus among this year's Booker judges lasted right up until the moment of the vote, but I'm glad Hilary Mantel has won I have been a Man Booker judge in a good year for fiction. In the last decade, perhaps only 2005 (with a shortlist of Banville, Barnes, Ishiguro, Zadie Smith, Ali Smith, Sebastian Barry) looks as strong. But I have also been lucky because all the other judges were rational,...

It's not often that a literature event inspires in us such a sense of urgency that we feel duty-bound to log on and make something of a public service announcement, like: Run, dear readers, run like the wind - get your tickets now! We're a leisurely lot, us bookish types, will get around to buying our event tickets when we get around to it, and rarely need to spend a morning refreshing our computer...

Now, way back in 2006, when I wrote this: 1001 Books: A Bibliophile's Dream! I said I would read some of these books and display my findings on this blog. Well, as you can imagine, I nearly lost the will to live just getting this post together! There's no way I am going to even attempt to read all of them, but I do like my lists (as well as my notebooks), and since I love this book I felt it deserved...

White Teeth by Zadie Smith, Ghost World by Daniel Clowes, White Noise by Don DeLillo, Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami So I'm incredibly behind on this book. I haven't got the nerve to email my publisher back - for fear of presenting her absolutely nothing (hi C). But I just wanted to say that books have been heavy on my mind... and even though this has nothing to do with fashion... sometimes it's...

"For, though he did not know it, and despite the Hoover tube that lay on the passenger seat pumping from the exhaust pipe into his lungs, luck was with him that morning. the thinnest covering of luck was on him like fresh dew. While he slipped in and out of consciousness, the position of the planets, the music of the spheres, the flap of a tiger moth's diaphanous wings in Central Africa, and a...

What, then, of the 2009 shortlist? At first glance, it breaths the spirit of the 1970s. Fiercely English, it is strongly inclined to the historical narrative. Every one of these books explores the past in some form. Taking few risks, it offers JM Coetzee and AS Byatt the prospect of a return visit to the winner's podium. In a recession, it's a list that will transmit a warm glow of reassurance into...
