My 2025 reading list, (and yes I’m running out of ideas how to pose with books.) Subject matter goes to prove that when you hit 40 you must choose between smoking meats or learning about WW2. I have clearly stuck by my choices.

The thing that has absolutely sent me about the Woolies CEO interview is he showed up in his dumb polyester polo shirt like he’s just an ordinary guy but he’s wearing a signet ring.

When you spend months on a report you wonder if anyone will read it. That’s why it was a thrill to meet the White House’s head of domestic policy Neera Tandern & brief her about the initiatives underway in prison reform. Thanks to @FulbrightAUS for the opportunity!

#1 for this year is Cleopatra. A brilliant history about a fascinating woman - and who doesn’t want to think some more about the Roman Empire?! @stacyschiff
