Back of the canvas that throbs, the painter is hinted and hidden Into the statue that breathes, the soul of the sculptor is bidden Under the joy that is felt, lie the infinite issues of feeling Crowning the glory reveal'd.

Sometimes there are 2-3 versions of the same cover - like The Mamas & The Papas' "If You Can Believe." album. There is good, bad and ugly (sexism, underage person(s)) covers, though that might sometimes depend on the reader's taste. Some with similar themes or style are grouped together.

So I try not to do this little poncey stance any more.” Why is he standing like that?’ Well it turns out I stand exactly like that, with my hand on one hip, and Benedict picked it up. I said ‘he’s got this really poncey way of standing. “And it was rather odd finding out things about myself. “It’s so weird that you can’t think about it,” says Alexander, when I ask him how it felt. ![]() The Cambridge writer has already been portrayed on screen – in the film adaptation of his bestselling book, Stuart: A Life Backwards – by none other than curiously-attractive Sherlock fop, Benedict Cumberbatch. ![]() But it’s one that Alexander Masters doesn't need to answer. 'Who would play you in the film version of your life?’ It’s a standard question in those Sunday supplement interviews (second only to 'who would you invite to your dream dinner party?'). ![]() ![]() ![]() I TRIED EVERYONE but I was just so confused about the setting and what was happening and at the end of it, I just couldn’t finish this book.

I find it frustrating when people try to reinvent the source material. “Silver in the Blood” draws focus to the protectors (Florescus) rather than the vampire legend.
