"Reading is no panacea. . . But, if no panacea, reading is still a medicine."
History suggests that the line between the Bible-reading and mass literacy is not simple or obvious, writes Nick Spencer

I'm supporting the #GetBritainReading campaign! It can be hard to get back into reading, so try taking just ten minutes. Set a timer if you have to! Short stories are great – I'm reading the excellent new collection from @uncertainstories.com…

Like a lot of authors (probably), I've been asked to share @thetimes.com #GetBritainReading campaign, where you commit to spending ten minutes every day reading to yourself or someone else.
Either my husband or I still read to my kids every day (they're ten and seven). My eldest is a big reader
It’s exasperating when an applaudable pro-reading campaign largely ignores the role of public libraries. Why not publicise a resource that already exists. Maybe @thetimes.com is sidestepping the politics of a diminishing statutory public service? #GetBritainReading

We welcome @thetimes.com's call to #GetBritainReading.
It’s never too early to start reading w/ children but our research shows only 42% of 0-7s get a bedtime story.
This #StorySharerWeek we're thanking our early years partners, who support families to overcome barriers to reading.

Britain’s facing a reading crisis — especially among teens.
I wrote The Potentials to help disengaged teenagers reconnect with stories and themselves.
Take the pledge and read for 10 minutes a day!

1 in 8 children in the UK does not own a book of their own. Over 1 million children have no bedtime story. Heartbreaking.
