Mike, you’ve just made me all emotional and tearful with that. Which is something I never thought I’d say about a comment on a weblog. Ever.

good interview. wish i'd had the chance for a good wee chat with him.

when he was at waterstones, he said something that made me think "bingo!" -- about how he hates hot food and cold food, and can only eat lukewarm.

i am exactly the same. my mother cooked dinner for me on sunday, she made pasta with cheese sauce -- chemical burn scaldingly hot. i was so annoyed that i put the plate in the freezer and sat there in the huff, for 5 minutes, until it was cool enough to eat.

yeah, what i thought. always pictured in suit and side parting, never good. smart cookie no doubt, always find it odd how his aphorisms in text are integrated into my perspective on life, prime example being micoserfs and generation X.

my sister had a stroke at aged 8 and the end of microserfs always brings a tear to my eye.

lasers in the sky, pool cleaners and slow taps ona keyboard as a way of reaching out to those you cannot reach.

identifiable,

Aye, Jack, don’t know why you’ve not read more of him. The new one is really quite something, too. Oh, and Mike, yes, he was a little odd, but in the nicest way imaginable.

Nice interview, Len.

I really should read more of his books, what with him quite obviously being right up my street...
