But then Graham Green had never met Jua Lipa.

For those who don't know who Jua Lipa is, a confession I didn't before starting writing this, she is a British pop star.

She is also an increasingly popular literary critic, thanks to her book club podcast, in which she interviews authors.

But Jua Lipa does not have a splinter of ice in her heart.

She has something much lovelier.

She loves books.

She loves storytelling.

She loves the Australian novelist Helen Garner.

And she loves Margaret Atwood's biography.

I loved it.

I love it.

I love it so much.

A hobby that was once dull, domestic, and thinkney frumpy has had a grow-up.

Now anyone who is anyone, and given the nature of modern celebrity, plenty of people who are almost no one has a book club.

Whether it's on a podcast, a website, YouTube channel or newsletter.

Reese Witherspoon has a book club.

She is its book lover in chief.

Gwynneth Paltro had a book club.

Crime and Punishment is one of her all-time favourite novels.

Paltro's lifestyle brand Coop at one time promoted a product called Vaginal Eggs.
