This I had published in Sunday Times and in Country Life recently.

I really feel, if you are in any way outdoors-enclined, or just interested in landscape photography, then this is the book to have. Wow. The guy devoted years to it. He has cancer, apparently. Possibly not long to live. I really respect what he did with this book.

I was prodded to write something and do better than pictures of rain, which everyone has apparently seen. I thought it was like,
a new thing.

So, hello. I am not a clone. Clones are only laughing on the outside, whereas I laugh on the inside and have a glum aspect. I am a pretend super hero.

The Kite Runner was a book that was notable for a number of reasons. Firstly, I happened upon it quite by accident at the shop while accumulating newspapers and jelly babies.

Secondly, it just so happens that the movie is currently showing on circuit, synchronising very nicely with my current trip to the schizophrenic, gold and mean streets of Jozi.

I’m not a voracious reader. I read a lot but I pick at books a bit like I tend to pick at my food. When I’m hungry I’ll devour them with relish and I can’t get enough. At other times I carry on reading because other people have raved about a book and I’m waiting for the part that really grabs my attention. I’m hoping to be seduced.

Imagine someone being able to write the ultimate book for our instant gratification society. Speed is all that counts and if you need something profound, you need it yesterday.

I only recently read a Terry Pratchett book and that was not by design, as I had lost an inopportune bet and the price was a tome that goes by the name 'MORT'.

Author: various (it's a collection of short stories)
genre: fantasy
pages: shit tons
pictures: no :(
guilt: a little

so i sat down a while ago with this book, i had heard alot about it before, but i mean can anything really compare with the scope of Tolkiens mind? i went in with prejudice thinking that it would be nowhere near as good as the hobbit or the LoTR triliogy...
