We apologise, we can’t really offer the world, perhaps the most we can do is provide the opportunity to engage with minds that challenge, provoke and ignite our daily conversations and life perspective. School of Life anyone?

In the meantime, we’ve got your holiday reading covered with three jumbo packs featuring prize-fighting lawyer Geoffrey Robertson’s Mullahs Without Mercy, Richard Dawkins‘ The Magic of Reality, John Ralston Saul‘s Dark Diversions, Michael Pollan‘s Food Rules and Eliza Griswold‘s The Tenth Parallel. Wanna win? All you have to do is tell us what your favourite Ideas/FODI talk was of 2012 in the comments below, on Facebook, or via Twitter (refresh your memory over here!). Leave us your email address too (trust us: do we look like spamming type?), winners announced Wed 28 Nov.
