Hello,
There's plenty to read in iweekend this week:
Meet the UK's oldest paperboy. At the age of 82 John Cooper could be forgiven for putting his feet up and enjoying the odd lie-in. Instead the octogenarian leaves his house at 5am every morning and delivers newspapers in the Derbyshire village of Duffield - a job he has now done for 71 years. He tells iweekend why he has no intention of packing it in. It's an exciting time for book lovers as the biggest publishing day of the year takes place next week. On 'Super Thursday', 544 hardbacks will be released as publishers jostle for a space in the Christmas gift charts. To celebrate, Sarah Hughes has rounded up 50 of the best reads across a variety of categories. Why not curl up with a book and enjoy a nice glass of something? Christine Austin has selected 20 wines that are perfect for cosy nights in. Ahead of the first conference on hoarding Chris Green looks at the issue and what can be done to help sufferers. Gary Shteyngart, the brilliant American novelist, talks to Max Liu about his new novel - set among Manhattan's finance elite - writing about autism and why he loves expensive watches. In travel, we've got a guide to seeing the world for free - from house swaps to volunteering plus Simon Calder's column, days out and how to spend a weekend in Gothenburg. It's another big sporting weekend. Kevin Garside is in Paris to bring you all the latest action and news as Team Europe compete against Team USA for the Ryder Cup. Sgt Andy Sanger was a bomb disposal expert who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, so what can he teach Harlequins players? iweekend meets the most unusual coach in pro rugby.
Plus there's also our 4-page puzzles pull-out, 7-day TV guide, engaging and insightful comment, money and culture.
