Books, books, book. I have just finished editing a book written by a friend who suffers from Bipolar. It is a story of his life and struggles with the condition and the ways in which he copes. It has been written for the benefit of other sufferers such as yourself, their family and carers. May I send you a “Word” copy prior to print for your comments and, if you like it, your endorsement. We are funding this project ourselves so the print run will be limited and will be early next year. Thank you. Roy Wallis

Very interesting ,
I think sometimes you have to put your foot down and say enough is enough bugger off. It is a bit cheeky of them to send you books expect you to read them and then give a glowing report. I would just put “haven’t read this let me know what you think”
or easier still ” this book is pants”
go on it would make many people smile.

Nothing to do withwhat you just posted realy. I just discovered Kingdom on Youtube and think it was brilliant. I see that only 3 series were filmed and could not find an reference to any possibility of a forth. I was thrilled to see many of my favorite British actrs in th series. My exposure to british Television has been limited to what Dallas Publc Television has shown; which included Blackadder, Bertie? and Jeeves (at least I remember your character, I can see Hugh Laurie on HOUSE anyweek). I also watched TopGear and that is where I learned of your Blog. Hope this doesn’t ruin everyone’s train of thought o your current blogging. Just thought that a little thanks for a job well down was important.

hello Mr Stephen fry!
I am actually new to twitter but I have been a big fan of yours, since the day i saw you qct in Oscar Wilde, i decided to read your books and it turned out to become a “disease”and i have read most of your books now, but the big problem is now,that i would like my boyfriend to have also the joy of reading your masterpieces, he is italian, i have gone around bookshops in italy and alas have not found any of your books. I really enjoyed “Making History”, and hoped that it would have been translated!I might be wrong, or not looking in the right places but I have not found your books in other languages!!!! I speak Italian and French fluently, yes I could translate then myself for my friends and boyfriend but what about introducing your novels to a more European audience/readers?

I m not sure whether you will answer but “j’éspere que mon blog apportera ses fruits” to a future translation!!!!

Speaking of the power of twitter and Stephen’s tweeting, here’s a hint

This just made my day, and made me wonder about the power of twitter. But may I just say that you provide truly excellent quotes for books (that you might not have read lol). Thank you, and hoping always for more to come.

The only question that begs asking, is how the hell do I get to have dinner with you ?
I’m living in St.John’s Wood for God’s sake. You’d think a lousy dinner was a possibility.

Does this mean that you didn’t actually read James Palumbo’s Tomas? I thought that recommendation was a bit of an aberration…

Hiya, it seems to me you are entirely missing a trick on this one. Why not write what seems at first glance to be a complimentry review whilst actually telling it how it is…eg:

“I love a good book (waffle waffle) and wasted no time at all in reading this one (waffle waffle)”

For those of us in the know it will be hilarious to work out what you really thought! The dodgy books coming your way might dwindle a bit too if they thought you might just rip the doodoo out of them.

More soon

I like this.
Twitter is a really good tool,and I use it to get news and information and even discover new things. I signed on on a whim not really knowing what to do there nor what it was for. I found out it was very useful if you just follow the right(right for me) people and I have even gotten good advice from people there too and also given some. It’s a good filter to get at what you want instead of having to wade through tons of websites.

And I love your honesty and keep it up.
Maybe you’ll get a proper book to read next time. (or hopefully this will make them think twice about bombarding you with them)

Love and respect
