On Reading is made up of three rather nosy friends who are curious about how, what and, most importantly, why readers read.

After hosting the delightful Kevin in the shop last month, we are pleased that copies of his latest adventure have been hot-footing (hoofing?) it off the shelf.

Thank you to @jabberworks and @philipreeve1 for our stunning illustration!
ALT A pile of copies of Kevin vs the Unicorns are to the left of a plate of biscuits. In the background is an illustration of Kevin visiting the shop, and they are all on a white tablecloth with gold stars.

May I just take the opportunity to say that if you buy from a high street bookshop your money stays in the local economy; indie shops and Waterstones pay taxes that fund everything from education to nurses' salaries. We promise not to shoot your money into space in a giant penis.

On this day in 1871, 150 years ago, Mr Marcel Proust was born. So why not make some madeleines to celebrate?
Madeleines are simple in taste but so satisfying when dunk in tea, as he well knew.
Recipe below…
#MarcelProust
#LittlePlumpCake
Add orange or lemon peel, vanilla or almond extract, bits of chocolate, whatever you like.
Butter and fill up the little moulds to 3/4, and bang in a preheated oven (180c) for 6-10mn depending on accuracy of said oven.
Now go to bed early, with a good book...
And for all things Proustians, why not follow La Société des Amis de Marcel Proust?@AmisDeProust and the wonderful @proustonomics blog?
