Frances - I think you saw Heart of Glass in the most apt frame of mind: slightly dazed, half awake. And Sue, I wish my books were weirder.Andrew Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875188855955154864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-69853427486071993422010-11-03T16:46:45.128+00:002010-11-03T16:46:45.128+00:00Oh goodness, Heart of Glass!

I'd taken a sleeping pill the night before to try to re-set my mental clock - it hadn't worked, so I decided to go to the cinema. Guess what I went to see. I was feeling about as zonked -out and disorientated as it was possible for anyone other than Keith Richards to be. Then I sat through that film.<br />It was beautiful - but oh dear, not the right film to see that day. I must catch it again sometime.<br />But, yes, Andrew, that strangeness of Herzog's is something worth thinking about and aiming for.frances thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717833251829537628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-37581465101382244322010-11-03T14:19:03.936+00:002010-11-03T14:19:03.936+00:00It was good to read this post this morning.

A few years down the line and I have a few more skills; it may be time to revisit it. <br /><br />I'll try and leave the worrying about markets and sensible decisions to the politicians. If they can't predict what's coming up, or get anything right, then I know I can't. <br /><br />I need to see the film, though, don't I? Thanks, Andrew, for the tip.Sarah Taylor-Fergussonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507013836947182706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-3302666684362038212010-11-03T09:21:34.530+00:002010-11-03T09:21:34.530+00:00Permission to be weird.

I haven't read it yet, in some respects the title is enough for me ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-41701922986412915932010-11-03T08:08:46.772+00:002010-11-03T08:08:46.772+00:00Interesting post, Andrew.

The market is full of individuals who have different likes and interests: it's not a homogenous mass. (Though that of course doesn't explain the wall-to-wall success of vampire books or any other publishing phenomenon.) Anyway - am intrigued enough to want to read one of your books!Sue Purkisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084528571944803477noreply@blogger.com
