littlejohn

unlike my fellow bloggers cliff
and emma
i am not a reader of contemporary fiction; i have little time for books that do not involve murder, mayhem, maniacal machines or monsters. so you may ask why on earth i have a will self book. in truth i have no idea, my confusion is compounded by the fact that for a long time i have found will self somewhat of a pompous stuck up bore, though i have begun to warm to him over the last several months because of his columns in the independent and the evening standard.
regardless of my feelings towards self he is obvious a talented and intelligent writer.

littlejohn on the other hand isn’t.
littlejohn is a puffed up columnist who not only thinks he is funny (he isn’t) but also thinks he makes incisive political comments (he doesn’t). i suppose it wouldn’t be so bad if you thought he believed what he was talking about, but as you read his inflammatory words you can’t help but feel that for him it is just about the money and notoriety.

while exploring parts of the internet i stumbled across this
on the bbc website.
how my heart sang!

tomorrow i may just have to go out and buy a will self book.
