When a monkey nibbles on a weenis, it's funny in any language.

I wish Monkeys could Skype. Maybe one day.

My attitude is that if anybody of any age wants to read a book, let them, but I do think that no child would want to read Boneland.

I'll buy metaphor, but simile's a cop-out used by scaredycats who won't commit to anything. Simile's for cowards.

I learnt that I must never finish a book with nothing else to do.

My great-grandfather was a self-taught man, and his library was extraordinary. I read the lot.

My background is deep and set in deep time, and in a narrow space, oral traditions going back a long, long time, which I inherited by osmosis.
