The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury
This work is on a Guardian list of best comedy books for good reason
A couple of years ago I have discovered a list on the Guardian site that included the best humorous novels.
It included The History Man that I have tried to approach.
Alas,it did not work.
There is a note regarding the first experience that is negative.
In fact the encounter was so forgettable that it escaped my mind.
In a way that was lucky.
When I met again with The History Man it was on a list of favorites of Anthony Burgess.
Since I loved The Clockwork Orange and I search for books that will just exhilarate me, I thought:
- Why not give it a try?
Recalling that it was also on the Guardian comedy list, but not knowing that I looked into it and disliked the first pages or so.
The second time I loved most of the book.
Some passages and behaviors do not agree with me.
For instance, there is a long meeting of the teachers that I found boring.
It seemed to take a whole chapter, but that just proves the theory of relativity and it is also a reverse Flow phenomenon.
Flow or being in the zone is a state of maximum awareness, intense living when hours pass like minutes.
Well, the reverse is true when you read about Marx, commits and lefties and you think like me.
I hate the very idea of the left and the main character keeps mentioning Marx.
That would be enough to repel this reader and I wonder about the first look at this comedy- did I stumble upon all this socialist nonsense.
I might have and missed the humor.
Fortunately, there is humor within and that makes even a grain of Marxism tolerable.
But the main personage is not just inclined towards the left, he is also a strange combination of liberalism in some areas and a strict, totalitarian view in some other matters.
He is philandering with gusto and as many of his students and colleagues as are willing or he can win over after using complicated plots and traps.
On the other hand, he is very aggressive with a student that happens to think differently.
True, that young man has an obnoxious behavior, but still has appoint when he claims that his failing is more due to his different views and lack of a female anatomy than to a real, honest assessment.
Howard- The History Man- is not a macho type, descended from the Middle Ages.
In fact, for all his faults he is quite likeable, as opposed to the Batman from the Mosquito Coast that I finished recently.
His wife is seeing other men, in a kind of an open relationship, so it is not just Howard taking advantage of the popularity he enjoys with other female characters.
And he is sought after.
Red, one of his students is after him with all her power.
We could even say that Howard is sensible up to a stage.
He explains that as a teacher he has to be interested in her well being, but there are limits
- You said that we can wish for anything
- A desire has to be met half way
- But I want you
The intrigue includes accusations of improper conduct, pictures, revelations, unexpected turns of events.
It has been an enjoyable read, at least this second time, for I cannot fathom what went wrong in the first place, except that I must have seen only the aspects that I do not find wonderful even the second time around, but they just appeared diminished by the merry tone, the light touch and the fun side of Howard and the rest of the crew
PS: there are two reviews and two ratings for the same book, because I have read it twice and actually had two very different opinions

Salman Rushdie was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) on 19 June 1947. He went to school in Bombay and at Rugby in England, and read History at King's College, Cambridge, where he joined the Cambridge Footlights theatre company. After graduating, he lived with his family who had moved to Pakistan in 1964, and worked briefly in television before returning to England, beginning work as a copywriter for an advertising agency. His first novel, Grimus, was published in 1975.
His second novel, the acclaimed Midnight's Children, was published in 1981. It won the Booker Prize for Fiction, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for fiction), an Arts Council Writers' Award and the English-Speaking Union Award, and in 1993 was judged to have been the 'Booker of Bookers', the best novel to have won the Booker Prize for Fiction in the award's 25-year history. The novel narrates key events in the history of India through the story of pickle-factory worker Saleem Sinai, one of 1001 children born as India won independence from Britain in 1947. The critic Malcolm Bradbury acclaimed the novel's achievement in The Modern British Novel (Penguin, 1994): 'a new start for the late-twentieth-century novel.'
Rushdie's third novel, Shame (1983), which many critics saw as an allegory of the political situation in Pakistan, won the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. The publication in 1988 of his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, lead to accusations of blasphemy against Islam and demonstrations by Islamist groups in India and Pakistan. The orthodox Iranian leadership issued a fatwa against Rushdie on 14 February 1989 - effectively a sentence of death - and he was forced into hiding under the protection of the British government and police. The book itself centres on the adventures of two Indian actors, Gibreel and Saladin, who fall to earth in Britain when their Air India jet explodes. It won the Whitbread Novel Award in 1988.

The British author Tom Sharpe, who wrote the 1974 novel Porterhouse Blue, has died aged 85.
Sharpe, who was born in London in 1928, died in the coastal town of Llafranc in north eastern Spain on Thursday.
His 1975 novel Blott on the Landscape was adapted into a six-part BBC television series, starring Sir David Suchet.
He also wrote the Wilt series of comedy books, the last of which - The Wilt Inheritance - he penned in 2010.
Porterhouse Blue, published in 1974 told the story of Skullion, the head porter of a fictional Cambridge college Porterhouse.
The story, a satirical look at Cambridge life, was later made into a television series on Channel 4 in 1987.
The four-part TV series starred Sir David Jason in the lead role of the head porter, Skullion, alongside Ian Richardson as Sir Godber Evans and Barbara Jefford as his wife Lady Mary.
The son of a Unitarian Minister who was a Nazi supporter in the 1930s, Sharpe was educated at Lancing and Cambridge.
In an interview on Desert Island Discs in 1984, Sharpe told Roy Plomley he was initially influenced by his father's ideas.
South African inspiration
He spent time in the Royal Marines, serving overseas on ships during the 1940s.
With his National Service experience and the death of his father in 1944, Sharpe said he discovered "that Hitler was not the man I was led to believe he was".
"My mind was blown by the horror of what had been happening."
Sharpe moved to South Africa in 1951, working as a social worker, teacher and photographer, and writing anti-apartheid plays during the 1950s, however, he was deported to Britain in 1961.
His experiences in South Africa inspired him to write his debut novel, Riotous Assembly in 1971, and his second novel, Indecent Exposure, in which he mocks the apartheid regime.
In 1975, he wrote Blott on the Landscape, centred on the proposed construction of a motorway in a fictional rural county in England.
The book was adapted into a six-part series by Malcolm Bradbury for the BBC in 1985.
"Books and films are totally different things," Sharpe said during his interview on Desert Island Discs.
"I say throw the book out the window and use the characters."

Malcolm Bradbury
Sir Malcolm Stanley Bradbury CBE (7 September 1932 – 27 November 2000) was an English author and academic.
Life
Bradbury was born in Sheffield, the son of a railwayman. His family moved to London in 1935, but returned to Sheffield in 1941 with his brother and mother. The family later moved to Nottingham and in 1943 Bradbury attended West Bridgford Grammar School, where he remained until 1950. He read English at University College, Leicester and gained a first-class degree in English in 1953. He continued his studies at Queen Mary College, University of London, where he gained his MA in 1955.
Between 1955 and 1958 Bradbury moved between teaching posts with the University of Manchester and Indiana University in the United States. He returned to England in 1958 for a major heart operation; such was his heart condition that he was not expected to live beyond middle age. In 1959, while in hospital, he completed his first novel, Eating People is Wrong.
Bradbury married Elizabeth Salt and they had two sons. He took up his first teaching post as an adult-education tutor at the University of Hull. With his study on Evelyn Waugh in 1962 he began his career of writing and editing critical books. From 1961 to 1965 he taught at the University of Birmingham. He completed his PhD in American studies at the University of Manchester in 1962, moving to the University of East Anglia (his second novel, Stepping Westward, appeared in 1965), where he became Professor of American Studies in 1970 and launched the MA in Creative Writing course, attended by both Ian McEwan and Kazuo Ishiguro. He published Possibilities: Essays on the State of the Novel in 1973, The History Man in 1975, Who Do You Think You Are? in 1976, Rates of Exchange in 1983 and Cuts: A Very Short Novel in 1987. He retired from academic life in 1995.

"Life is a crisis - so what!"
"I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world."

"English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did."

Note on The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury
The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury This work is on a Guardian list of best comedy books for good reason A couple of years ago I have discovered a list on the Guardian site that included the best humorous novels. It included The History Man that I have tried to approach. Alas,it did not work. There is a note regarding the first experience that is negative. In fact the encounter was so forgettable that it escaped my mind. In a way that was lucky. When I met again with The History Man it was on a list of favorites of Anthony Burgess. Since I loved The Clockwork Orange and I search for books that will just exhilarate me, I thought: - Why not give it a try? Recalling that it was also on the Guardian comedy list, but not knowing that I looked into it and disliked the first pages or so. The s...

The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury
This work is on a Guardian list of best comedy books for good reason
A couple of years ago I have discovered a list on the Guardian site that included the best humorous novels.
It included The History Man that I have tried to approach.
Alas,it did not work.
There is a note regarding the first experience that is negative.
In fact the encounter was so forgettable that it escaped my mind.
In a way that was lucky.
When I met again with The History Man it was on a list of favorites of Anthony Burgess.
Since I loved The Clockwork Orange and I search for books that will just exhilarate me, I thought:
- Why not give it a try?
Recalling that it was also on the Guardian comedy list, but not knowing that I looked into it and disliked the first pages or so.
The second time I loved most of the book.
Some passages and behaviors do not agree with me.
For instance, there is a long meeting of the teachers that I found boring.
It seemed to take a whole chapter, but that just proves the theory of relativity and it is also a reverse Flow phenomenon.
Flow or being in the zone is a state of maximum awareness, intense living when hours pass like minutes.
Well, the reverse is true when you read about Marx, commits and lefties and you think like me.
I hate the very idea of the left and the main character keeps mentioning Marx.
That would be enough to repel this reader and I wonder about the first look at this comedy- did I stumble upon all this socialist nonsense.
I might have and missed the humor.
Fortunately, there is humor within and that makes even a grain of Marxism tolerable.
But the main personage is not just inclined towards the left, he is also a strange combination of liberalism in some areas and a strict, totalitarian view in some other matters.
He is philandering with gusto and as many of his students and colleagues as are willing or he can win over after using complicated plots and traps.
On the other hand, he is very aggressive with a student that happens to think differently.
True, that young man has an obnoxious behavior, but still has appoint when he claims that his failing is more due to his different views and lack of a female anatomy than to a real, honest assessment.
Howard- The History Man- is not a macho type, descended from the Middle Ages.
In fact, for all his faults he is quite likeable, as opposed to the Batman from the Mosquito Coast that I finished recently.
His wife is seeing other men, in a kind of an open relationship, so it is not just Howard taking advantage of the popularity he enjoys with other female characters.
And he is sought after.
Red, one of his students is after him with all her power.
We could even say that Howard is sensible up to a stage.
He explains that as a teacher he has to be interested in her well being, but there are limits
- You said that we can wish for anything
- A desire has to be met half way
- But I want you
The intrigue includes accusations of improper conduct, pictures, revelations, unexpected turns of events.
It has been an enjoyable read, at least this second time, for I cannot fathom what went wrong in the first place, except that I must have seen only the aspects that I do not find wonderful even the second time around, but they just appeared diminished by the merry tone, the light touch and the fun side of Howard and the rest of the crew
PS: there are two reviews and two ratings for the same book, because I have read it twice and actually had two very different opinions

Salman Rushdie was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) on 19 June 1947. He went to school in Bombay and at Rugby in England, and read History at King's College, Cambridge, where he joined the Cambridge Footlights theatre company. After graduating, he lived with his family who had moved to Pakistan in 1964, and worked briefly in television before returning to England, beginning work as a copywriter for an advertising agency. His first novel, Grimus, was published in 1975.
His second novel, the acclaimed Midnight's Children, was published in 1981. It won the Booker Prize for Fiction, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for fiction), an Arts Council Writers' Award and the English-Speaking Union Award, and in 1993 was judged to have been the 'Booker of Bookers', the best novel to have won the Booker Prize for Fiction in the award's 25-year history. The novel narrates key events in the history of India through the story of pickle-factory worker Saleem Sinai, one of 1001 children born as India won independence from Britain in 1947. The critic Malcolm Bradbury acclaimed the novel's achievement in The Modern British Novel (Penguin, 1994): 'a new start for the late-twentieth-century novel.'
Rushdie's third novel, Shame (1983), which many critics saw as an allegory of the political situation in Pakistan, won the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. The publication in 1988 of his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, lead to accusations of blasphemy against Islam and demonstrations by Islamist groups in India and Pakistan. The orthodox Iranian leadership issued a fatwa against Rushdie on 14 February 1989 - effectively a sentence of death - and he was forced into hiding under the protection of the British government and police. The book itself centres on the adventures of two Indian actors, Gibreel and Saladin, who fall to earth in Britain when their Air India jet explodes. It won the Whitbread Novel Award in 1988.

The British author Tom Sharpe, who wrote the 1974 novel Porterhouse Blue, has died aged 85.
Sharpe, who was born in London in 1928, died in the coastal town of Llafranc in north eastern Spain on Thursday.
His 1975 novel Blott on the Landscape was adapted into a six-part BBC television series, starring Sir David Suchet.
He also wrote the Wilt series of comedy books, the last of which - The Wilt Inheritance - he penned in 2010.
Porterhouse Blue, published in 1974 told the story of Skullion, the head porter of a fictional Cambridge college Porterhouse.
The story, a satirical look at Cambridge life, was later made into a television series on Channel 4 in 1987.
The four-part TV series starred Sir David Jason in the lead role of the head porter, Skullion, alongside Ian Richardson as Sir Godber Evans and Barbara Jefford as his wife Lady Mary.
The son of a Unitarian Minister who was a Nazi supporter in the 1930s, Sharpe was educated at Lancing and Cambridge.
In an interview on Desert Island Discs in 1984, Sharpe told Roy Plomley he was initially influenced by his father's ideas.
South African inspiration
He spent time in the Royal Marines, serving overseas on ships during the 1940s.
With his National Service experience and the death of his father in 1944, Sharpe said he discovered "that Hitler was not the man I was led to believe he was".
"My mind was blown by the horror of what had been happening."
Sharpe moved to South Africa in 1951, working as a social worker, teacher and photographer, and writing anti-apartheid plays during the 1950s, however, he was deported to Britain in 1961.
His experiences in South Africa inspired him to write his debut novel, Riotous Assembly in 1971, and his second novel, Indecent Exposure, in which he mocks the apartheid regime.
In 1975, he wrote Blott on the Landscape, centred on the proposed construction of a motorway in a fictional rural county in England.
The book was adapted into a six-part series by Malcolm Bradbury for the BBC in 1985.
"Books and films are totally different things," Sharpe said during his interview on Desert Island Discs.
"I say throw the book out the window and use the characters."

During this episode Coltrane talks about moving to the country, setting up to practice, connecting with the sound of an instrument, Malcolm X, music as means of expressing that state of society, and how he wanted to change the world.

"I keep a horn on the piano and I have a horn in my bedroom."
"Music, being expression of the human heart or the human being itself, does express just what is happening."
"In any situation that we find in our lives, when there’s something we feel should be better, we must exert effort to try and make it better."

Salman Rushdie was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) on 19 June 1947. He went to school in Bombay and at Rugby in England, and read History at King's College, Cambridge, where he joined the Cambridge Footlights theatre company. After graduating, he lived with his family who had moved to Pakistan in 1964, and worked briefly in television before returning to England, beginning work as a copywriter for an advertising agency. His first novel, Grimus, was published in 1975.
His second novel, the acclaimed Midnight's Children, was published in 1981. It won the Booker Prize for Fiction, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for fiction), an Arts Council Writers' Award and the English-Speaking Union Award, and in 1993 was judged to have been the 'Booker of Bookers', the best novel to have won the Booker Prize for Fiction in the award's 25-year history. The novel narrates key events in the history of India through the story of pickle-factory worker Saleem Sinai, one of 1001 children born as India won independence from Britain in 1947. The critic Malcolm Bradbury acclaimed the novel's achievement in The Modern British Novel (Penguin, 1994): 'a new start for the late-twentieth-century novel.'
Rushdie's third novel, Shame (1983), which many critics saw as an allegory of the political situation in Pakistan, won the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. The publication in 1988 of his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, lead to accusations of blasphemy against Islam and demonstrations by Islamist groups in India and Pakistan. The orthodox Iranian leadership issued a fatwa against Rushdie on 14 February 1989 - effectively a sentence of death - and he was forced into hiding under the protection of the British government and police. The book itself centres on the adventures of two Indian actors, Gibreel and Saladin, who fall to earth in Britain when their Air India jet explodes. It won the Whitbread Novel Award in 1988.

Note on The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury
The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury This work is on a Guardian list of best comedy books for good reason A couple of years ago I have discovered a list on the Guardian site that included the best humorous novels. It included The History Man that I have tried to approach. Alas,it did not work. There is a note regarding the first experience that is negative. In fact the encounter was so forgettable that it escaped my mind. In a way that was lucky. When I met again with The History Man it was on a list of favorites of Anthony Burgess. Since I loved The Clockwork Orange and I search for books that will just exhilarate me, I thought: - Why not give it a try? Recalling that it was also on the Guardian comedy list, but not knowing that I looked into it and disliked the first pages or so. The s...

The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury
This work is on a Guardian list of best comedy books for good reason
A couple of years ago I have discovered a list on the Guardian site that included the best humorous novels.
It included The History Man that I have tried to approach.
Alas,it did not work.
There is a note regarding the first experience that is negative.
In fact the encounter was so forgettable that it escaped my mind.
In a way that was lucky.
When I met again with The History Man it was on a list of favorites of Anthony Burgess.
Since I loved The Clockwork Orange and I search for books that will just exhilarate me, I thought:
- Why not give it a try?
Recalling that it was also on the Guardian comedy list, but not knowing that I looked into it and disliked the first pages or so.
The second time I loved most of the book.
Some passages and behaviors do not agree with me.
For instance, there is a long meeting of the teachers that I found boring.
It seemed to take a whole chapter, but that just proves the theory of relativity and it is also a reverse Flow phenomenon.
Flow or being in the zone is a state of maximum awareness, intense living when hours pass like minutes.
Well, the reverse is true when you read about Marx, commits and lefties and you think like me.
I hate the very idea of the left and the main character keeps mentioning Marx.
That would be enough to repel this reader and I wonder about the first look at this comedy- did I stumble upon all this socialist nonsense.
I might have and missed the humor.
Fortunately, there is humor within and that makes even a grain of Marxism tolerable.
But the main personage is not just inclined towards the left, he is also a strange combination of liberalism in some areas and a strict, totalitarian view in some other matters.
He is philandering with gusto and as many of his students and colleagues as are willing or he can win over after using complicated plots and traps.
On the other hand, he is very aggressive with a student that happens to think differently.
True, that young man has an obnoxious behavior, but still has appoint when he claims that his failing is more due to his different views and lack of a female anatomy than to a real, honest assessment.
Howard- The History Man- is not a macho type, descended from the Middle Ages.
In fact, for all his faults he is quite likeable, as opposed to the Batman from the Mosquito Coast that I finished recently.
His wife is seeing other men, in a kind of an open relationship, so it is not just Howard taking advantage of the popularity he enjoys with other female characters.
And he is sought after.
Red, one of his students is after him with all her power.
We could even say that Howard is sensible up to a stage.
He explains that as a teacher he has to be interested in her well being, but there are limits
- You said that we can wish for anything
- A desire has to be met half way
- But I want you
The intrigue includes accusations of improper conduct, pictures, revelations, unexpected turns of events.
It has been an enjoyable read, at least this second time, for I cannot fathom what went wrong in the first place, except that I must have seen only the aspects that I do not find wonderful even the second time around, but they just appeared diminished by the merry tone, the light touch and the fun side of Howard and the rest of the crew
PS: there are two reviews and two ratings for the same book, because I have read it twice and actually had two very different opinions

Salman Rushdie was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) on 19 June 1947. He went to school in Bombay and at Rugby in England, and read History at King's College, Cambridge, where he joined the Cambridge Footlights theatre company. After graduating, he lived with his family who had moved to Pakistan in 1964, and worked briefly in television before returning to England, beginning work as a copywriter for an advertising agency. His first novel, Grimus, was published in 1975.
His second novel, the acclaimed Midnight's Children, was published in 1981. It won the Booker Prize for Fiction, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for fiction), an Arts Council Writers' Award and the English-Speaking Union Award, and in 1993 was judged to have been the 'Booker of Bookers', the best novel to have won the Booker Prize for Fiction in the award's 25-year history. The novel narrates key events in the history of India through the story of pickle-factory worker Saleem Sinai, one of 1001 children born as India won independence from Britain in 1947. The critic Malcolm Bradbury acclaimed the novel's achievement in The Modern British Novel (Penguin, 1994): 'a new start for the late-twentieth-century novel.'
Rushdie's third novel, Shame (1983), which many critics saw as an allegory of the political situation in Pakistan, won the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. The publication in 1988 of his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, lead to accusations of blasphemy against Islam and demonstrations by Islamist groups in India and Pakistan. The orthodox Iranian leadership issued a fatwa against Rushdie on 14 February 1989 - effectively a sentence of death - and he was forced into hiding under the protection of the British government and police. The book itself centres on the adventures of two Indian actors, Gibreel and Saladin, who fall to earth in Britain when their Air India jet explodes. It won the Whitbread Novel Award in 1988.

The British author Tom Sharpe, who wrote the 1974 novel Porterhouse Blue, has died aged 85.
Sharpe, who was born in London in 1928, died in the coastal town of Llafranc in north eastern Spain on Thursday.
His 1975 novel Blott on the Landscape was adapted into a six-part BBC television series, starring Sir David Suchet.
He also wrote the Wilt series of comedy books, the last of which - The Wilt Inheritance - he penned in 2010.
Porterhouse Blue, published in 1974 told the story of Skullion, the head porter of a fictional Cambridge college Porterhouse.
The story, a satirical look at Cambridge life, was later made into a television series on Channel 4 in 1987.
The four-part TV series starred Sir David Jason in the lead role of the head porter, Skullion, alongside Ian Richardson as Sir Godber Evans and Barbara Jefford as his wife Lady Mary.
The son of a Unitarian Minister who was a Nazi supporter in the 1930s, Sharpe was educated at Lancing and Cambridge.
In an interview on Desert Island Discs in 1984, Sharpe told Roy Plomley he was initially influenced by his father's ideas.
South African inspiration
He spent time in the Royal Marines, serving overseas on ships during the 1940s.
With his National Service experience and the death of his father in 1944, Sharpe said he discovered "that Hitler was not the man I was led to believe he was".
"My mind was blown by the horror of what had been happening."
Sharpe moved to South Africa in 1951, working as a social worker, teacher and photographer, and writing anti-apartheid plays during the 1950s, however, he was deported to Britain in 1961.
His experiences in South Africa inspired him to write his debut novel, Riotous Assembly in 1971, and his second novel, Indecent Exposure, in which he mocks the apartheid regime.
In 1975, he wrote Blott on the Landscape, centred on the proposed construction of a motorway in a fictional rural county in England.
The book was adapted into a six-part series by Malcolm Bradbury for the BBC in 1985.
"Books and films are totally different things," Sharpe said during his interview on Desert Island Discs.
"I say throw the book out the window and use the characters."

This series once again follows Hans-Joachim Dorfmann (Christoph Waltz), otherwise known as âBloody Dorfmannâ, as he is sent to the fictional country of Slaka to sort all the economical problems the country has so as to allow its entry into the European Union. However, back in Brussels and the United Kingdom, things are hardly smooth sailing. While in Slaka, Dorfmann finds himself caught up in political power games and illegal smuggling operations, completely against his will, of course. Meanwhile, both the president, Katya Princip (Francesca Annis), and a mysterious Slakan woman, Galina, (not to mention Mrs. Steadiman) take a shine to the well-meaning Hans, which naturally causes more problems.

In this episode of Liberation Frequency, Jennifer Sodini interviews Mario Reading - acclaimed author and authority on Nostradamus. The two discuss Nostradamus' fulfilled prophecies, as well as the prophecies for the future which may (or may not) come to fruition.
Mario Reading's biography: "Reading was born in Dorset, and brought up in England, Germany, and the South of France. He was educated at Gorse Cliff Preparatory School, followed by Rugby School, and then went on to study Comparative Literature under Malcolm Bradbury and Angus Wilson at the University of East Anglia, where he specialized in French and German Literature and translation before absconding, after two years, on a cargo boat to Africa.
During a nomadic youth he sold rare books, taught riding in Cape Town, studied dressage in Vienna, played polo in India, France, Spain, and Dubai, ran a seventy horse polo stables in Gloucestershire, and helped manage his Mexican wife’s coffee plantation.
Reading is the author of six novels. The Music-Makers [House of Stratus 2001], The Nostradamus Prophecies [Atlantic 2009], The Mayan Codex [Corvus 2010], The Third Antichrist [Corvus 2011], The Templar Prophecy [Corvus 2014], and The Templar Inheritance [Corvus 2015]. Reading’s Antichrist/Nostradamus Trilogy [TNP, TMC & TTA] has been published in 38 countries to date, with a combined sale of over one million copies.
Mario Reading was the recipient of a £7000 Arts Council Writing Award in 2004 for his as yet unpublished novel After Barbarossa.
Reading is also the author of eight non-fiction titles: the Dictionary Of Cinema, the Movie Companion, the Watkins Dictionary Of Dreams, Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies For The Future, Nostradamus: The Good News, The Complete Prophecies Of Nostradamus, Nostradamus: The Top 100 Prophecies, and Nostradamus & The Third Antichrist. Reading’s non-fiction books have been published in 20 countries, and have sold more than half a million copies. A new edition of Reading’s perennial bestseller, Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies For The Future is due out in 2015, to tie-in with History Channel’s new Nostradamus documentary, which features a lengthy interview with the author, and which is due to air in May 2015.
Reading also writes occasional magazine features, including, in February 2000, a controversial major Sunday Times Magazine exposé of the CIA, entitled An American Hero. He has also made a number of national and international appearances on radio (BBC Radio 4) and television, most notably in Discovery Channel’s 2006 documentary, Nostradamus: The Truth, and four further documentaries for Discovery Channel, History Channel, and National Geographic Channel. For four years he was the Chairman and chief coordinator of the Fonthill Writing Awards. He is also a member of Mensa and the ultra high IQ society, the ISPE [The International Society for Philosophical Inquiry]. In 2015 Reading was voted one of the world’s Top 100 Living Spiritual Masters by Watkins Mind Body Spirit Magazine."

My lengthy and tangential review of Bertie Gilbert's 2014 short film The 56 Year Old Boy.
Twitter: twitter.com/stephenbtw
Tumblr: stephenbtw.tumblr.com
Part one: Visual Language and The 56 Year Old Children - 00:54
An analytic look at Bertie Gilbert's cinematography and the potential of the film's premise.
Part two: The Sonnet - 05:55
A section about narrative theory followed by an analysis of the four middle scenes of the film and a particularly pretentious bit where I discuss the structure of romantic poetry with classical music in the background, during which I somehow managed to keep a straight face.
Part three: My Head Hurts - 13:24
The main critical part of the video in which I lurch from bitching about the pace to picking apart the story and even go off on a two minute rant about how much I don't like the ending of Inception. Seriously.
Part four: Depth, Breadth and Potential - 26:22
An underwhelming attempt to bring this disorganised mess to a sort of conclusion.

About the guest
Johnny Fincham is a professional palmist and writer and yoga teacher, born in 1963, the eldest of five dyslexic, deranged and dysfunctional children. His mother had more than a drop of gypsy blood in her and his father was a war veteran, able to turn his hand to just about anything.
His first home was a draughty beach hut in Walbaswick, Suffolk, UK. Later on, the ever-growing family upped sticks and moved to Lowestoft, also in Suffolk. He spent a goodly chunk of his life there, almost succumbing to the cloying sea-mists, massive alcohol consumption and sticky sands of that drab town.
Though possessed by a love of words and language, he was not a good citizen. In court 28 times and he spent a very short period of time in prison on remand (for car theft). Dyslexic, desperate and ill-educated, he was mad for the material things he imagined would give his life lustre.
A lust for learning kicked in at age 28. He wangled his way into the University of East Anglia as a mature student.
He did English literature and loved it. At that time, that avuncular, easy-going, Malcolm Bradbury taught under-grads creative writing. He drank up the classes like a parched desert absorbs water.
He decided he was going to be a writer. He left UEA, wrote thirty or forty short stories, sold none and sulked for three years.
Then through a mix of ancestral urges and amazing co-incidence he stumbled into the trade of palmistry. Though a total sceptic, he met a world- class palmist who convinced him of its value and educated him in its subtle intricacies. Since that time he's earned a living as a palmist and subsidised my income with writing.
He's had a short story - 'Unbearable Brightness' published, along with various other stories and lots of features and articles. Encouraged by this success, he went on to write 'The Spellbinding Power of Palmistry' and 'Palmistry-Apprentice to Pro in 24 Hours'. He wrote these books out of frustration at the mass of books out there that were full of outdated references and gobbledegoook. This was followed by 'Palmistry Made Easy' and 'Palmistry at your Fingertips'.
He also wrote an SF novel, 'While the Gods Sleep.' A love story really, with it's main theme being deception, and the way information will be manipulated in the near future.
He's currently writing a yoga manual, another palmistry book, and 'Nearly Normal' a novel about a poor kid growing up, rebelling against his raggle-taggle gypsy mother and dying to be normal. In all his books, stories and features, he's fascinated by what moves beneath the surface of experience.

"Putting in what the media leave out, Bringing you news from the front lines, New Zealands alternative Media. MR NEWS"
WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT NEW ZEALAND'S ALTERNATIVE PRESS WILL SURELY DIE.
For Less than the price of two cups of coffee a week you can support New Zealand's LEADING alternative media reporter and videographer Vinny Eastwood.
(www.thevinnyeastwoodshow.com)
For years Vinny has been making some of the most interesting DVDs you will ever see, with stories about New Zealand that nobody else has the guts to cover.
Here's the deal: Vinny will send you one of his original DVDs as his gift to you, if you agree to donate only $5 a week (or more, if you can) to support his work. He really needs your help, and, to be perfectly honest, you probably need to see his work.
Vinny has been working tirelessly (UNPAID!!!) to bring you and other New Zealanders the real story behind the story. His courageous enthusiasm puts him in places few other dare to venture, asking the tough questions of people who would rather hide the truth from you.
Vinny has been on the cutting edge of alternative journalism for three years, recently expanding his reach through The Vinny Eastwood Show, Guerilla Media & "MR NEWS" (his on camera "alias").
And make no mistake. He gets the story. He has interviewed people such as Jason Bermas (Loose Change), Webster Tarpley (Obama: The Post Modern Coup), Cindy Sheehan, Rick Simpson & Kerry Cassidy (Project Camelot).
His interviews with Kiwisinclude: Jason Kerrison (Op Shop), John Banks, John Campbell, Pita Sharples, Lucy Lawless, Robin Malcolm, Martyn "Bomber" Bradbury, Michael Cullen, Jonathan Eisen (UNCENSORED), John Key & Helen Clark..
He is currently heard on 26 AM/FM stations in North America & worldwide 2 in New Zealand Like Rush 89FM Hamilton and Ifinity FM 87.7 Invercargill.
