I don't know why but "incredibly prolific" struck me as a bit of a back-handed compliment. I mean, it doesn't actually say whether his writing is any good, just that there's a lot of it!

For the record, he is also rather good as well as prolific!

Or just a dedicated John Wyndham room!

What's a surplus book? That can't be a thing.

I run with my boy as well, but only the Junior Parkrun so far. As for the bookclub, I've been reading him the Lord of the Rings as a bedtime story for nearly a year so the indoctrination has begun!

Following you on Bluesky is going to be one of the most expensive decisions I've ever made.

We hope...

I saw the app! I'm excited to try it, although I am also currently picturing my wife's face when I ask her to look after the kids without me so I can spend a day scanning my books...
