5 Things To Do This Weekend...Watch Beyonce's Super Bowl Show And Climb To The Top Of The Shard

Read... some life literature

There are two ace books on our reading list for this weekend. The first is Sheila Heti's How Should A Person Be? Part memoir, part novel and part self-help guide. Following her divorce, twenty-something playwright Sheila Heti starts to closely observe Margaux, her new friend, and Israel, her new lover, in an attempt to answer: what sort of person should she be? And if you ever get that feeling that life is just passing you by and that you've not actually achieved anything, it’s not just you. That’s exactly how Story (yes really, that’s his name) feels on the brink of a middle-youth crisis in Afsaneh Knight's funny and squirm-inducing second novel The Sunshine Years.
