Damn right I do. Amazing what happens when you Google a riddle to find it’s location on one of the scenarios. Score! Yes, I am one of those people who when faced with a choice: give up or cheat? I usually choose the latter…
I’ve always wanted a subscription to The New Yorker – so I got one. I realise I could have subscribed to two or three Australian literary journals/magazines for the same money, and perhaps I may next year. We’ll see how this goes. I read it from back to front. Don’t ask me why. ****** The…
I don’t have an annotated copy of Dracula. I have three or so regular editions of various ages. When I saw this in the bookshop the other week I grabbed it. Really interesting. Especially this: On page seven is a photo of the crime scene from Jack the Ripper’s fifth victim Mary Kelly. As my…
