Dear Jane? Naah.<br /><br /><b>Myst</b>: There there. Give me a few years to show you what the fuss is about:)<br /><br /><b>Yohan</b>: Look who surfaced! How lovely!<br /><br />I hadn't read Amis either till recently. Though some time ago I did buy father Amis's Lucky Jim and promptly passed it on with a happy birthday inscription.<br /><br />I had no idea who Žižek was till he landed up in Delhi and someone in my now ex office called him the Shah Rukh Khan of philosphy.

I've never read Amis (father or son)<br /><br />Didn't think I was the autograph-seeking type until I got Slavoj Zizek to sign my copy of "Violence". I even asked him a question.

A fellow book collector and ...Boy, are you lucky. <br /><br />A fellow book collector and I use to hop around New York collecting signatures on first editions. (All author tours pass through Manhattan.) My friend would ask the author to inscribe the book to his (the author's) favorite deceased writer. He has books inscribed to Mark Twain, Hemingway, Joyce. It's a nice gimmick and most authors thought it was a fun thing to do.The Unbearable Banishmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704208968630911021noreply@blogger.com
