My earliest reading memoryWhen I was eight, my mother bought me Stanley Bagshaw and the Short-sighted Football Trainer by Bob Wilson. I grew up thinking he was the same Bob Wilson who played in goal for Arsenal and presented sport on ITV. That wasn’t true, but it has never dampened my appreciation of this brilliant rhyming picture book, which ought to be reissued to inspire more kids to read. My sons adore it. My favourite book growing upThe Red Pony by John Steinbeck had a profound effect on me in secondary school. I was amazed by how vividly a writer could evoke a landscape in words. It was also the first novel that moved me to tears, and stories that can do that will always stay dear to me. The book that made me want to be a writerAround the age of 20, I had a bout of illness that left me bed-bound for a few weeks. I was feeling pretty low. But it was during this time that I read Mr Vertigo and In the Country of Last Things …

Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson

Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson

Published by José Betancourt

Benjamin Stevenson has quietly assembled one of the most entertaining mystery series in contemporary crime fiction. Beginning with Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, he introduced readers to Ernest Cunningham — a Golden Age mystery devotee who keeps blundering into real ones — and each instalment has sharpened the formula. Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect gave Ernest a moving locked room. Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret put him in a festive gathering that turned murderous. Now, with Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson, the series takes its most structurally ambitious swing yet: a bank heist where nearly everyone in the building has arrived with something to steal — and only one of them is after money. Ernest and his fiancée Juliette have driven seven hours into rural Queensland to pitch their last-chance loan application to Huxley’s Bank, a sandstone behemoth of a building in a gold-rush town still running largely on heritage and stubbornness. Before the meeting ends, a figure in a fencer’s sabre mask fires a …

The Real-Life Diet of Benjamin “Coach” Wade, Who Did 100-Hour Fasts to Prepare for Survivor 50

Published by Jenni Sidey

This time I was flying, and the other times I feel like the pain, the hunger has really come to me. I struggled by thinking about food at home, whereas this time my mind was like, “This is temporary. It’s not going to last forever.” There’s these beautiful things that happen from autophagy, to cell regeneration, to just complete immune reset at about 100 hours. I was doing these huge 100-hour fasts once a month to prepare for Survivor. That was a big part of it, and also just being in the gym and doing interval training and doing sprints. No 54-year-old man wants to be sprinting. My whole life, I’ve hated running, but you’ve got to get out there and you got to find a partner—iron sharpens iron—who’s willing to do it with you. That was my nine-year-old son. He loves to run. Three months before I left, I was on the fence if I was going to actually say yes. Before I left, he was whipping me in races. Then by the time …
