# Micto, read this guy's qotw answers when you have a moment
I'm truly in awe. His 'being told off as an adult' is a great read, and the 'confessions of sleepwalking' has shards of ... well, I won't go there on here.

I've contacted him in the hopes of finding out more. If interested, I'll keep you posted.

Some of them are bloody long, yet no board posts?

Makes you wonder what the point of joining was...

# will do
the style of the sleepwalking one (the shortest) reminded me of dan rhodes
who is well worth reading 'anthropology' had me in stitches

# sample page:
my girlfriend had been unemployed for ages. so i was delighted when she finally applied for a job
she filled in the form in her best handwriting, but got stuck when they asked her to list all her hobbies
'i've put smoking' she said 'but i can't think of anything else' i racked my brains, but i couldn't think of anything either.
'well,' i said eventually, 'you could put sex, you enjoy making love to me, don't you?'
'no,' she said, chewing her pen. 'not any more. i'll put hill walking. it's not as if they're going to check up on me'

# Excellent Amazon review...
Unbeleivably repetitive, essentially the same story retold 99 times (the other is a recycling of an old, if rather good joke about a funeral, by far the best of the 100). No real emotion or wit, just occasionally intriguing opening lines ending in fey aren't-I-clever punchlines.

This is a "concept" book - 100 tiny stories, with the obligatory double cover and quote from iD magazine on the front. A book for people who like being seen with books but find reading tiresome...
