From one book of essays to another; from one book which I found essential to another which I found to be the total opposite, and it pains to me say that. I like David Mamet – I like his films and I like the plays that I have read; I’ve enjoyed a couple of interviews [...]

This is a short film but by the end of it I felt robbed of every second I wasted on it. I loved The Sixth Sense; I thought Unbreakable was great; even Signs was tolerable though by no [...]

I have to admit to knowing very little about the real Helen Keller, but she is one of those people whose names floats around the ether and is known even if you don’t know exactly what she is famous for. I think I first heard her name being used as an insult by someone who [...]

I wanted to celebrate the books which I have in my William Burroughs collection so I found this site and hunted down all the covers of the books I actually own. Someone on a forum recently asked who rewired my head and the guy who did it first and keeps doing it was Burroughs. A [...]

I was born into fertile ground as far as having religious based confusion went – what with a mother who is a lapsed catholic and my [...]
