    Shakespeare's Plays

    I don't get shakespeare. I think the whole thing is just one of those things: everybody says he is great and so that's why he is, rather than actually being great. It's just opinion. To illustrate: I heard an interview on the radio a few months ago. In it, an art critic said: 'If you...

    Bad influence of Harry Potter

    The Harry Potter books are too derived to be harmful. Anyone who jumps into the air on a broomstick thinking theyll fly deserves to fall down.

    Larry Niven: Ringworld

    The new economy of book publishing

    I don't like the e-book. For 1), it is expensive, and will go on being expensive. You must charge its batteries, which will add to your energy bill, and it will breakdown (all hi-tech does - its the in-built obsolescence). A book? You can throw it about and it doesn't (always) break, it don't...

    I didn't download it, I find it in a public library (British libraries: the dog's bullocks, by the way. I also found a book on how to pick a yale lock, a book on cannabis (how to grow your own) and a book on how to make gunpowder, step-by-step - and the govt is scared of terrorist material...

    David Icke: The Biggest Secret

    Ive read the biggest secret. I thought it was entertaining in the same way watching a lunatic from a VERY safety distance away is. Incidentally, has anybody else noticed how David Icke's eyes are weird, really cold and lizard-like. Ironic, isnt it?

    Mark Z. Danielewski: House Of Leaves

    Its a good book, right enough, but the footnotes were a pain in the arse. Its like Traunt or whatever his name is cant let the story run without trying to steal the limelight with his big footnotes. I just read the story and ignore him.

    The Most Important Book Ever Written?

    There's an article about it on the American Chronicle website. Its at americanchronicle.com/articles/view/98976 in case anybodys interested. But I dont believe it. And I cant believe the English queen owns whole countries. No wonder Australians are thinking about becoming a republic!:confused:
