Turn The Page: The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel

I read all kinds of books – why? Because I like to find things out. Would I have hunted this book out or even picked it up in the normal course of things? No, probably not. The way it came into my hands was via a guy who was doing a follow-up after one of [...]

Turn The Page: Jafsie And John Henry by David Mamet

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 [...]

Turn The Page: The War Against Cliche by Martin Amis

When you read a book of essays you are hoping to get an insight into the subjects under discussion that you may not have arrived at by yourself; or you are looking for an opinion on something that you are not knowledgeable about yourself – you seek to educate yourself; or perhaps you want an [...]

Turn The Page: Spook Country by William Gibson

There is something that struck me about Gibson, reading this latest novel, and that was a quality of his prose that I had not noticed before. The scenes that he presents are like those slides of specimens that scientists use and it is as if he allows your eye to pierce through all the events [...]

Turn The Page: Catcher In The Rye by J D Salinger

The Catcher In The Rye is one of those books that seems to suffer from being part of the landscape. I had forgotten, until a recent re-reading, how vital a voice this book has. There are a few terms which might give away the fact that it was not written in the present day but [...]

Turn The Page: William S Burroughs

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 [...]

Turn The Page: Bogwoppit by Ursula Moray Williams

Try talking about one of these strange little critters and people will look at you like you have a bloody screw loose but this remains in my mind as one of those great stories that kids get read. Apparently it was on Jackanory and that was probably where I became aware of it, but I [...]

turn the page: self interview

I can’t remember where I saw this — maybe it was that arch egotist Jim Morrison who gave me the idea — but in an effort to get to know myself and elucidate some upon my new books, I am interviewing myself in lieu of someone else doing the job.

So, Warchalking, what’s that all about [...]
