In a world that moves faster by the day, the Five Minutes Late Book Club is an invitation to pause. Join Stan Grant, alongside his son Jesse, as they venture into the great books that have shaped civilisations, challenged belief systems, and redefined what it means to be human. The title reflects a simple idea: to read deeply and think seriously is to slow down. It may make you five minutes late to the world, but in that pause, you see more clearly and recover something essential: attention, wisdom, and a shared humanity.
