This list looks really bad….I don’t watch that much tv! In fact I love sky+.

Favourite Books and Reading:

One of my favourite authors Kate Atkinson.  I have just completed her most recent book One Good Turn. Brilliant book and has always the way she winds all the stories and characters together, whilst leaving that final twist of uncertainty is intriguing and keeps you reading.

I also love: Norman Mailer ‘The Castle in the Forest’ and Elizabeth Kostova ‘The Historian’

I have been reading Gilgamesh and the early creation stories.  Started Principia Mathematica….mmm Bertrund Russell…like his mind….His mind in Brad Pitt? Perfect Male?

I am revisiting Penrose….I JUST ADORE Penrose.

Favourite music:
Just about everything.  See my playlist.

I am a platypus so …ermmm fish.
