So, the first two parts of this massive project I am undertaking is up for your enjoyment — I hope you’ll all support me and leave me loads of comments to let me know what you think. I have something like a hundred and sixty characters to introduce you to and each story will be [...]
I seem to remember this being recommended to me with a line like ‘If you say you like Science Fiction then you need to read this.’ It is different — it has a very different flavour to a lot of the science fiction that I had read up to that point except for maybe The [...]
Taken From Chuck’s Official Site:
Posted March 20th, 2008 by Dennis
In emailing back and forth with Chuck earlier this week, I asked him what he’s been up to. I might have been feeling him out for what he’s been working on a little. But it wasn’t my primary intention. [...]
I have been meaning for an age to read Dostoevsky and, having a literature degree, am slightly ashamed of myself that it has taken until now. I am of course reading a translation but I have to trust that it is a faithful rendition of the original Russian, just as I have trusted the work [...]
I am so glad that I read this book before I watched the film because if not I wouldn’t have bothered and I would have denied myself an entrance into the work of a wonderful writer.
The film stripped away so many things from the book, and I know how they say that you shouldn’t compare [...]

Sometimes you read a book and you feel that serendipity has delivered it to you, so closely does it seem tailored to the needs [...]
My friend seemed to have almost the entire Herman Hesse library and I borrowed and read a fair proportion of it. This was the largest of all those books; Steppenwolf, The Prodigy and Klingsor’s Last Summer being fairly slim volumes. As a story it possessed a lot of the characteristics and concerns of the smaller [...]
I think Alexander Trocchi came to me via John Fante whose Ask The Dust had just been reprinted by Rebel Inc. They had the moody black and white covers and were finally getting the treatment that they deserved after a long time of languishing in obscurity. I went to the library and tried to track [...]
I think this is the only book of John Fowles that I ever finished, and I really enjoyed it — it is one of those books which draws you in and becomes, in the process, something that shapes some part of you. I couldn’t necessarily say what effect the book had on me in a [...]
I studied both the book and the film as part of a course that was looking at how books were converted into film. I have to admit that I had previously found Virginia Woolf to be quite a difficult writer to get into and I know that I am not alone in this. Orlando was [...]
