A quick review for a quick read. I'm a bit of a fan of the animated films of Hayao Miyazaki and his famous Studio Ghibli. It was a bit over 20 years ago that I first saw "Kiki's Delivery Service". I loved it, like all of...

Me and my best friend and confidante went down to Birmingham yesterday. Usually I drive, but BFAC has got it into her head that she doesn't like driving long distances anymore - I mean, it's only a couple of hours drive,...

Victor Frankenstein Yes, I'll probably do that again. I'm not sure how the ticket price compares to the total cost of petrol plus parking, but it's certainly more relaxing.

I've just finished reading this science fiction novel by an author who I've been getting in to lately. I don't see vintage science fiction books in charity shops very often, but I was lucky enough to find this one in an Oxfam...

In my quest to read all the Saint books in order, I've come to the sixth volume - “Alias The Saint.” This book is a collection of three short stories, originally published in magazines before being collected together in 1931....

The news has just come through that shots were fired at a golf club where Donald Trump was playing golf. According to the BBC, agents saw someone pointing a rifle at the golf course and fired on the suspect, who then dropped the...

Victor Frankenstein From what's come out so far, it seems that the suspect has serious, long-standing mental health issues.

AE Van Vogt was one of those authors who most science fiction fans have at least heard of, but I haven't read much of his work, except for his famous "Weapon Shop" stories many years ago. I sometimes buy job lots of vintage books...

Death penalty is the highest punishment possible in criminal justice. It has been abolished in certain states in US and in certain countries. Many support capital punishment to most heinous crimes such as murder, serving as a...

Victor Frankenstein My problem with the death penalty is a very simple one. Nobody has yet devised a perfect justice system. Mistakes get made, and innocent people are sometimes condemned. Sometimes they're even deliberately framed. If you send an innocent person to jail and...

Who do you think will win the elections in the United States in 2024? In my opinion Trump will win, in fact I hope so, I have made several bets in his favor, so if he wins I will win a lot of money????????????

Victor Frankenstein Based on the recent polls, if it's a relatively honest election, VP Harris will probably win. If there's large scale election fraud in key states, then the Heritage Foundation puppet Trump will probably "win". Time will tell.

It always amazes me how pets just learn their names. Say something often enough and they pick up on it I guess. Charlie came to me at almost a year old so he already knew his name. Adso came here at 8 weeks old and he picked up...

Victor Frankenstein That's a lovely little kitten. Cats are pretty intelligent considering how small their brains are. It's not just that they can recognise their names. The cat that often sleeps overnight in my house wakes me up when she wants to go out in the morning - but...

There is no bottom to how stupid MAGA conspiracies can be. First you had Trump out there yelling about supposed illegal immigrants eating the pet cats and dogs of Springfield Ohio. None of it was true--the cats and dogs were fine...

Victor Frankenstein Thanks for your kind words. They did a lot of above ground testing in the 50s, but that had been brought to an end by a test ban treaty by the time this book was written. Thank heavens that treaty is still in force!
