Your probs right cept I can never get past first 2-3 lines without thinking its a load of rubbish.

I think if I can concentrate on writing something that will blow peoples minds open to how much they don't know when it comes to animal suffering and what part they blindly play in their misery would be a positive motivational factor.

What blows my mind apart was the patron saint of animals Francis of Assisi was supposedly not even a veggie!

Mothy; is there no animal-rights fiction out there?

I'm working at "Appointment in Samarra' by John O'Hara and the book version of "The Future is Wild."

I'm working up to tackle 'Green hills of Africa" By Hemmingway but so far, I'm having a hard time getting into it. The style of the book just doesn't appeal for some reason.

'Green hills' in the end turned out okay.

John Stuart Mill - On Liberty. Quite a concise essay which can be a bit verbose paradoxically.

Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin. Great read about how far our country has strayed from the principles of its founding.

Quote........" Stephen Fry has been propelled into genius amongst the public but he is mortal and vulnerable and his demons still haunt him. I find him a very interesting person. Someone I would like to have a drink with."

**************
IMO it is because he is 'vulnerable' humanises him and that is one of the reasons we like him so much.
His command and usage of the English language never fails to astound me.
