Sometimes the words don't flow, other times, they're utter shite, but I continue to get them down in the hope that they can be battered into shape. What I worry about, is that the ideas might dry up. To date, there are still a few in the tank.(less)

Can you plagiarise an idea?

Did Dan Brown plagiarise The Da Vinci Code?

I know it's an old story, but bear with me ...

Are you one of the 80 million or so folks that bought a copy of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code?  I confess to adding it as my third book in a charity shop 3 for 2 offer, so I don't think I'm included in that number.

Nevertheless, while recovering from knee surgery this time last year, I read his novel. Altho

This is narrative non-fiction at its very best. Starts as a thriller, ends as a horror. What's most terrifying is that it's entirely believable, even more so when you consider that the launch codes are in the hands of an orange lunatic. ...more

Quotes by Craig Brown  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It is Cinderella in reverse. It is hope dashed, happiness mislaid, life mishandled. Nothing is as thrilling as they said it would be: no one is amusing, as clever, as attractive or as interesting. The sun never shines as bright as it used to, and even the fiercest thunderstorm lacks any real sense of drama or pizzaz. As the curtain falls, Group Captain Charming has left her for someone more suitable and has gone to live in France, and Buttons, in his zip-up jumpsuit, has taken up with a wearying succession of younger lovers. When Cinderella dies, her little glass slipper is put up for auction, a memento of days of hope and innocence. The catalogue entry reads: 'Only worn once.”
Craig Brown, Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret

“John was angular, slapdash, maudlin, difficult, lazy, dissonant, edgy, sardonic, pessimistic, solipsistic, sulky, cool, brutal”
Craig Brown, One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time

“Paul considered himself lovable; John believed himself unlovable.”
Craig Brown, One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time
