At this level

C1 means reading almost anything and reaching for a dictionary only for rare words. In English that is advanced phrasal verbs, tense shifts in reported speech and irony you only catch if you know the context.

Where to start

The shelf is short for now: a retelling of Tenet, conversations like Book Talk with Zoe, articles on why you age more slowly on a plane or whether everyone should take vitamins, and advanced grammar notes.
