I have thought long and hard about starting this blog. After all it is reasonably well known that I hate most blogs, their innate assumption that I have nothing better to do with my time than read the mindless minutiae that makes up another person's mind/day/life.
On the other hand, am an avid reader of books and you could argue that it is no different with books. But the thing with books is that they need to be published, in the old fashioned sense of the word. Therefore there is an assumption of quality control and a willingness to put your money where your pen is.
But we digress.
Like I said, I thought long and hard, I argued with myself and I decided to go ahead anyway. I believe I have something interesting to say (more on that in the next post), more importantly, I believe it could be relevant to a lot of people. So there you go.
Besides I don't actually expect anyone to read this, and I certainly have no intention of forwarding this to friends and family, so that mitigates the crime a little.

FS is reading...
- Crash by J G Ballard. He is a god. I totally regret not gate-crashing his home when I had the chance and saying hello.
