translation of the feedbooks review (just for you moejoe) :

Quote:
Excellente petite nouvelle. Tous les amateurs de livres se posent la question ces derniers temps : doit-on abandonner le bon vieux papier? qu'en est-il des relations avec ces "objets" électroniques qui permettent de transporter une bibliothèque dans sa poche...
Excellent short story. All book lovers are wondering lately : should we abandon good old paper ? and what about the relationship with these electronic "objects" which allow you to carry a library in your pocket... (or maybe he's just happy to see you. --translator's note)

oh sorry, forgot to mention that "object" is a synonyme for peas, in french.

(now what about those peas in your pocket ?)

Curry, how could I forget curry! I had a traditional British Rogan Josh earlier tonight But Marmite is the devil's sauce. It's horrid. It's pukatronic!

Proper british cuisine is the crisp buttie, mmmm... salt and vinegar crisps on a round of white, buttered bread. It's manor from heaven I tells ya.

Oh and here's a list of what I'm writing now, well, what I've completed and will be posting soon (seeing as we're in the what are you writing now thread)

"900 lights"
"The King of Karaoke"
"Toward the Latitudes"
"Corona"
“The Stone in His Hand"
"A Flag for Mr. Bellamy"
“In the Hills, a Bull”

And the salt and vinegar crisps have to be salty enough to make you wince when you eat one. That's the law of crisps that is.
