I knew she looked familiar..and having been a pawn in the cunning plans she produced for her werewolf game I am sure she could contrive devious detective plots too!

Dorothy L. Sayers cropped up in one of the Oxonmoot lectures I attended - apparently Tolkien was a fan in general but hated Gaudy Night !!!!

Was that in the one in the marquee about Tolkien, Women and Oxford?

I was wondering why my ears were burning.... I suppose I now know what my future looks like.

I'm quite a fan of Bill Bryson (I certainly buy all his books and devour them within mere hours), so imagine my surprise when I opened his latest, The Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid to discover something I had not quite realised before. He looks suspiciously like a Downer!

See who you think Bill Bryson reminds you of before scrolling down:

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 12-28-2006, 11:14 AM

Remarkable...

Celuien · 12-28-2006, 11:18 AM

Amazing!

I thought of lmp before scrolling down but seeing the pictures together was still startling.

Lalwendë · 12-28-2006, 11:38 AM

You aren't by any chance from Iowa are you, lmp?

I hope you are not offended or anything by the way!

Wow

... I was scrolling up this thread, since for some reason I started reading from the last post and then up... and when I saw LMP's picture and then the other one I thought "Hm... LMP really looks good on a suit" I had no clue that was not him... untill I read what Lal said.

Lal, there's no link to a picture of Bill Bryson in your post. Was it lost or did you intend folks to do a google image search?

Kath · 12-29-2006, 03:31 PM

Bb the image just comes up on its own. No link necessary.
