    Orson Scott Card to J.K. Rowling

    My t'pennys worth here.! In all honesty I've never heard of this chap, Card, but it seems, to me anyway, a bad dose of "good" old fashioned green headed jealously to me. I'm not a great 'fantasy' reader myself, apart from the Potter seven parter, I've got Northern Lights trilogy, and real...

    Dr. Who & Torchwood

    So, what did you think of the Doctor's daughter then.? Heard somewhere that she's Peter Davidson's daughter. (Speaking of whom, I rather liked his version, sadly it's a pity he'd not enough really good stories though). Hated the one who followed after, godawful he was, think he'd been previously...

    The first sentence in the book you're reading

    Cappuccino. That New Age answer to driving one's blue's momentarily away. A few tablespoons of espresso, a froth of steamed milk, an accompanying and generally tasteless dash of powered chocolate and suddenly life was supposed to be all in order. What drivel. (Opening to, Missing Joseph...

    The first sentence in the book you're reading

    Not remarkably beautiful, he thought. Not, that is to say, if one could ever measure the beauty of a woman on some objective scale: sub specie aeternae pulchritudninis, as it were. From: The First Inspector Morse Omnibus, prologue to The Dead of Jerico.
