Sad news. My first Lodge read was Paradise News, quickly followed by Changing Places and Small World. And then everything else. A real delight.
We are extremely sad to hear of the death of our revered long-time author David Lodge. Our thoughts are with his children and family. His influential place in the history of British letters will endure through the wonderful body of work he leaves behind.

I'd go farther and say people shouldn't cancel their Post subscriptions since it has an excellent newsroom but if they wanted to protest Bezos should cancel their Amazon Prime subscription — and buy books and other items from places other than Amazon

If you're at all interested in mathematics education, this is essential reading. So much food for thought.
The first draft of A Mathematics Manifesto is now live.
This is a call for action to improve mathematics education - moving it beyond the basic number skills needed for everyday life and economic utility and reclaiming the mathematics curriculum for mathematics itself.
By defending mathematics as an intellectual pursuit, we restore its rightful place in education: not as a means to an end but as a discipline that transforms minds and grows thinkers who can tackle the most profound challenges of our time. Mathematics is not just for the marketplace – it is for the human mind.
