Is there anything nicer than burdening others with book recommendations? Other than curling up with the books in question and an enormous mug of coffee, obviously. Um – I read a lot – and trying to get other people to read everything I’ve read is kind of a personal goal. Plus, I’d rather blog than [...]

2012: a cunning plan…
Posted in alternative music, books/comics, classical music, trans on March 27, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Or, rather, several cunning plans. Would you like to hear them? Of course you would. First up – the reason posting has been light recently is not only because of the unforgiving schedule. Something’s flipped, you see. I always planned on writing a book about trans issues – well, that’s happening now. And, I’m [...]

Many men are more female than I am. All that is female about me is my bosom, a few more curves and more delicate hands. The skirt is round my waist, not my mind. It is often the case that the sex of the soul does not correspond to that of the body and that [...]
There are few writers who can articulate what music means…

…but Roz Kaveney is one of those writers. Sleep. Dream in music. Breathe it like a sea you’ve grown the gills for. Dance it like the fire- you’ve salamander skin.

Don’t ask me to pick which one of Roz Kaveney’s sonnets on the theme of Orpheus I love the best. But, if I had to pick one, this might be it. But don’t hold me to it.
In April I will be mostly reading…

Oh, it’s all so horribly DONE. But not by me – and maybe not be you. Care to join? It has been decided – April is Proust month. I’m going to be 27 this year and I’ve been making excuses regarding Remembrance for the past ten years. And not just excuses – it’s the [...]
Today I have been mostly reading…

I admit, I was a late convert. A very late convert. No childhood memories of shared readings with parents, or staying up late to finish just one last story by the light of a torch. My family weren’t fans, you see. And by the time I’d heard of them, I was already far too [...]
