Books

• The Phil Rickman Website
  Crime/Supernatural fiction (or fact?). Wonderfully captures the essence of Herefordshire and its people.
• Ian Rankin
  Highly evocative novels featuring Edinburgh cop John Rebus.
• Terry Pratchett
  I enjoy Pratchett's descriptions of everyday objects without naming them.
  After he's talked about it for a while one can say "hey, that's a Discworld shopping trolley!"
• Barbara Hambly
  Particularly her "Sun Wolf and Starhawk" series.
• Susanna Gregory
  Well-researched Medieval mysteries set in ‘Michaelhouse’, a lost college of Cambridge. Added 9 Sep 2006.
• Michael Jecks
  More Medieval mystery, set in 14th century Devon.
• Anne Perry
  Needs no introduction to her fans! Mysteries set in the middle and late 19th century, and her WWI series featuring the fortunes of the typically middle-to-upper-class Reavley family.

Entertainment

• To remind myself of the titles of films I've enjoyed, or those famous lines, remembered as other than they were...
  The Internet Movie Database. Repeat it often enough and it will become true; however Dirty Harry did NOT say "Come on punk, make my day" any more than Humphrey Bogart said "Play it again, Sam!"
• A slightly different slant on the same theme - Misheard Lyrics
• Apparently the most commonly misheard lyric of all time: "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy". Added 7 Sep 2008.
• In the 70s : Music, Movies and Television, site created by the author of 'Misheard Lyrics'.
• Alternatively, for when you can't remember where those pesky words going round and round your brain are from.... the Real Lyrics - LyricsFreak.com Added 8 Jan 2006.
• For the late 1960s and early 1970s : Folk Music Index
• I began to enjoy music when I was a pre-teenager in the 1950s, but in the 1960s it became so much more "available" - two for then : Sixties City and 1960's British Pop Culture.
• One for my dad, who (I think) gave me my love of music :. Charlie Kunz Home Page
  As a pianist himself, he was a great fan of Charlie Kunz, and was inspired to play like him with his 'soft touch'. Kunz was a Pennsylvanian American who came to England in the 1920s and gained an immediate following as a pianist and band leader. A Dutch-based site, available in 5 languages. :)
• And for something completely different to Charlie Kunz...
  Glam Rock of the 70's. Added 1 Aug 2004; changed to an alternate link 17 Oct 2008.
• Cinemagoing in Britain - the 'big sceen' era. Also ScreenOnline - guide to Britain's film and TV history. Added 29 Nov 2004.
• Whoops, I've been seduced by rockabilia again... Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
  All I did was a Google search for Fats Domino, honest! Added 19 Jan 2006.
