Is it just me, or is copyright becoming a real pain in the butt at a consumer level? Reality is that people lend each other books. No doubt they also give each other electronic books. They certainly give each other ripped music. We seem to be st...

Profile Information

Favorite Book
You've got to be kidding - favourite 200 perhaps
About Me:
I am an author of 7 books to date, which is partly why I am here, but I also have this project where I am identifying and showcasing all artists from the area where I was born - Hull & East Yorkshire. Incredibly, there are hundreds (I fear thousands) of published artists: http://www.a63revisited.com

I belong to blog sites targeted at writers (I really like http://www.speakwithoutinterruption.com/site/) but I write primarily because I am a reader, so this place seems ideal.

Review of 'The Old Man & The Monkey' by George Polley



Earlier this year I read George Polley’s ‘Grandfather & The Raven’. Tonight I have read his ‘The Old Man & The Monkey’. There is one thing I have learnt about George’s books – that when you sit down to read them, you needn’t stop until they end, and probably that you cannot stop until… Continue

Review of 'Grandfather & The Raven', an e-book by George Polley

When my children were eight and five, they used to love listening to a couple of Barefoot Books CDs in the car and as they settled down to sleep – ‘Tales of Wisdom & Wonder’ narrated by Hugh Lupton and ‘Grandmothers’ Stories’ narrated by Olympia Dukakis.

Coming from Barefoot Books, these were charming multicultural tales suffused with wry observations on the world – the monkey who a… Continue

Review of 'By These Things Men Live' by Robert Ellal

Bob Ellal’s ‘By These Things Men Live’ comes with a sucker punch in the final chapter (no, he doesn’t snuff it) but I shall declare my conclusion immediately. It is exquisite.

It plays towards one of my prejudices and against another.

The one it plays towards is my preference for novellas. You probably know the reply of the writer who was asked why his book had come in at seven hundred pages – “Because I didn’t have time to write a shorter one.” Bob did have time and it shows. He obviously eve… Continue

Review of 'Geometers of Intellect' by Steve Sangirardi

Anthony Burgess used to claim that he wrote his novels to symphonic notation and Steve Sangirardi freely admits that as far as he is concerned sound trumps meaning, an attitude which is self-evident in his writing, not for any lack of meaning but for the prominence of the grandiose ebb, flow and swell of his compositions.

Steve publishes in slim volumes so although he loves to blow up a passage until it sounds like a full philharmonic orchestra flat out and hell-for-leather, perhaps he should b… Continue

Review of "A Full Accounting' by John Joss

John Joss is a writer for whom rigour and integrity are all: the rigour of the imagination, the rigour of minutely layered detail, and the rigour of linguistic precision. He clearly abhors short-cuts, laziness, vagueness and sloppiness and, in many ways, almost a lifetime since being invalided out of the Royal Navy where he trained as a pilot, he is still a military man in his essence, fascinated in equal measure by the truth and by the fiction of life as it surrounds him.

The recurring theme o… Continue

I read The White Hotel when I was still quite young, in high school, and it was just such an eyeopener to what a modern novel could be, it haunted me for ages. I remember it is quite a confronting novel but not in the usual way that novels about the Holocaust are thought of as confronting, it was such an intense book. I was probably not really mature enough to fully appreciate it at the time, but now you have me thinking about a few books from the past which I may revisit.

Hi Tim, thanks for the friend request, I see you like poetry, something I should read more of. I enjoy literary fiction, but I work with kids so I end up reading a lot of children's lit. Your work sounds intriguing, I will try and catch up with one of your novels when I get a break in the school/study routine.
The discussion on obscure favourites was an interesting one and it has made me think I shoud seek out more of Yourcenar's work. The Ackroyd novel Chatterton seems nicely ironic in the terms of the discussion, since in part it explores the transcience and nature of art. Happy reading and writing.

Hi Tim

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Chris
