| About me | As a Chorlton resident I am naturally gifted with charm, wit and humility as well as devastating good looks. In my brief sojourn of twenty four years or so I have managed to indulge myself in all manner of professions from wastrel to high-flying executive. I can tell you from experience that a wastrel is the best thing you can achieve (also known as being a student). | ||||||||||||||||

Weird things For example any of the questions Stephen Wright poses to an audience. Why are bullet proof vests made from duvets as we all know that nothing can get through a duvet. Why almost all SF enthusiasts know only other SF enthusiasts, is it contagious or infectious? Why Fantasy is grouped with Science Fiction rather than general fiction as the two are somewhat Oxymoronic. If mothers know best does this mean that as a nation we are becoming progressively more stupid? Fantasy Living in the real world and then reading a book about it to take a break strikes me as driving a car on the motorway and then stopping at a service station to play some driving game. Really good escapist fantasy has had a return to form recently after the mainstream hype led to too much pulp-fantasy-fiction being produced. Now at last we can return to great books that are written not just with sales in mind but rather knowing that the books will achieve great sales because the story is so good. I have refused to continue the Wheel of Time series until it has finished. My favourite authors are Raymond E. Feist, Richard Goodkind (who has to write about the earlier war or there will be trouble) and Hugh Cook (whose books are now out of print, possibly the greatest crime of the last decade). | My interests | ||||||||||||||||
