Gerald said:
"As I've mentioned in my blog, I greatly admire De Vries and think he's one of the most underrated fiction stylists of the twentieth century. But this book feels like a warm-up. If you haven't read him, try Forever Panting first.

Hi Gerald, thanks for the add. Your books in digital motion picture production techniques sound like proper cool endeavors. I hope to check them out!
Hi Gerald,
Thanks for the "add," as they say on Myspace. I'm also looking forward to checking out your books. I'm a thriller writer myself and my better half reckons I need to broaden my horizns and get sine light relief. I'm a big fabn of Tom Sharpe, however, and sense an affinity with some of your stuff.
Cheers
ROGER
The only inflatable doll book I own is "Kiki" by John Gill, a moody British suspense story. I'll be reviewing the novel in the weeks to come.
thanks you for the ad

Hi Graeme, Yes the good news is anyone who can scrape up a five-figure budget can make a movie. That's why Sundance gets about 5,000 submissions of full-length movies every year. Sheesh!
