Our new lockdown game: judging famous people by their bookshelves

Lockdown Britain has added a new dimension to one of readers’ favourite games: nosing around other people’s shelves. With broadcasters and politicians addressing the nation from their own front rooms, it has become easier than ever. Now we don’t even have to go to someone’s home to judge them by their reading habits. Now the libraries of the famous are laid bare for us all to mock or admire.

I’ve learnt over the last couple of weeks that a lot of people have absolutely no lives, other than shouting on Twitter and complaining about non-issues. Suddenly they’re bored, alone, with no family. It’s so tragic to see.

That telephone though. Is the royal family really so backward they don't have cordless phones. I imagine, once upon a time, she was actually quite a modern gal.

What's the point in doing this, really?

We already have a game: judging witless reporters for their inane tweets following a lack of news that doesn't reflect on government ineptitude.

Kate Middleton hasn't read any of those Penguin Clothbound Classics on her desk if my experience is anything to go by - as soon as you handle them the design comes comes off the covers.

Anyone with a ChimeWhistle book on their shelf has to be good 😀

How would we know they were genuine photographs, they could be using library shots...
