The Best Fiction of 2025 The best fiction of 2025, from "The Wayfinder" to "We Do Not Part."

Folks, I've done it. I wrote up my best fiction of 2025 (please clap). Long thoughts on each of the top ten, short blurbs for each of the rest. In total: 86 books. Nonfiction still to come. I have read so much this year, please benefit from my efforts.

And tell me what you loved yourself!

Problematic (to put it kindly) on so many levels.
1) there isn't really 'unfunded' research. The REF is there to allocate resources so that research is possible without a grant.

I really think universities underestimate how true this is for a lot of students and their parents. They don’t want us to try to pretend to be cool. They want us to be a bit dusty, and very serious. Enthusiastic, definitely! But also nerdy. We’re selling them ACADEMIA.
