About Me
Sheer poetry, dear boy.
Support your families like the rest of us - be born billionaires.
I was going to put a short bio here but I thought better of it. If you really want to know anything about me you can ask.
Just so everyone knows I am quick to anger. Like a wizard but without the impressive hat.
And that is a chair with a panda on it
“How can you force me to choose? Picking my favourite books is like picking my favourite student or my favourite child from my family! I just visited my book shelves. Six cupboards, eight shelves, three rooms full of BOOKS. The smell of old, dusty paper. Old familiar spines begging to be read again.
How can I pick between the places they take me to? The times? The cultures? The planets? The beliefs?
How can I decide between King, Koontz, Collins, Pratchett, Gaiman, Goodkind, Austin, Blyton, Hill, Cornwall, Carmody, Cornwell, Smith, Douglas? When I was ten they banned my favourite author, Enid Blyton: I still read her, behind the screens, under desks, as a thrilling snub to authority.
Books take me to places I cannot afford to go - Italy, the Carribean, Hogwarts, Panem, Manderley, Obernewtyn, Rin, Afghanistan. To places I will never see - the Universe (Hitchhikers), Rome (15AD), Gallifrey, Torchwood, Shakespearian England. They allow me to meet new people - Katniss Everdeen, the Grinch, Scrooge, Moby Dick, Elspeth, Harry, Hermione, Darcy, Ron, Dalziel, Pascoe, Sherlock, Rowan.
I cannot go on. I do not have a favourite book. I live to read … I read to live… if you need a picture come to my house, it is built of books.”
