Favourite books

If you browse down my blogroll, you will see a link to the excellent and eclectic Normblog.

Norm has asked me to write a piece on a favourite book, which you can find here. Seeing my effort on screen, it seems extremely short and perfunctory. But some of the other efforts in Norm’s “writers choice” series are really good. I particularly recommend the essays by John Lloyd, Francis Wheen and Christopher Hitchens.

  1. “Christine, the ideal girl pursued by Jim, is a cardboard cut-out - with big tits and an amiable temperament.”

    I am not really interested in over-sized busts but I fully understand the blissful certainities that a woman with an amiable temperament can offer.

    Lucky those who are in the company of such paragons.
