Favourite Book: Voyager graphic novel

Comments:
Journey through time is a mid eighties compilation of stories from the World Distributors Annuals. There were a couple of versions, one excitingly titled 'Doctor Who Special' that I got for Christmas 1986... the first Who book I ever owned. Some of those ld stories are pretty underrated, as is some of the artwork. Mostly, though, it isn't... it's crap.

Favourite Book: The Invention of Tradition

Comments:
Sorry man, I can't find any such book on Barnes and Noble. What's more I've never heard of it in context of current releases. Is it some kind of fan publication? More power to you if you can get online bookstores to carry a fanzine. Not that I don't l ke fanzines, I love 'em. Send me your poor, your huddled fanzines and so forth. Actually I did register with B&N for Pages that Pay. Unfortunately none of the books I've reviewed are still in print, so Barnes and Noble won't do anything with them, so I won't either. BCNU

Favourite Book: COMPANIONS, I AM THE DOCTOR, 5 ROUNDS RAPID, ACE!, JOURNEY THROUGH TIME, A HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE

Comments:
JOURNEY THROUGH TIME has 30 short stories with the first 6 Doctors. This book, among others, is available via both Barnes and Noble and Bibliofind. Eric, why don't you join Pages that Pay? After all, you could get a small commission from sales of all of the merchandise available from many stores, including out of print books. I plan to join after I'll finish taking my college course. By the way, that spoons version of the theme is the last track on "Worlds of Dr. Who." Therefore, please correct your page about "timewyrm: revelation."

Favourite Book: One Hundred Years of Solitude (my favourite *real* book)

Comments:
I thought I'd just step in here; although I've committed to no updates until December I wanted to mention another possibility for Grandfather Paradox. Kopyion, AKA Liall A Mahajetsu from 'The Pit', is an ancient Time Lord enemy of the Doctor, and he's on y got one arm. People generally don't mention that because 'The Pit' gets bad reviews; it's dull, plot-ridden and written out of character. Maybe Loz sees the irony that the Judgment is comes from where you least expect it...

Favourite Book: Timewyrn: Genesis, Warlock, Just War, Alien Bodies, The Infinity Doctors, etc, etc

Comments:
I've got some explanations/speculations for two of the reference guides. Genesis: Gordon Bennett - from what I've heard 'Gordon Bennett' was a newspaper editor who turned up at a very important party (the Queen was in attendence) in the last century, he is supposed to have committed the biggest faux passe ever by turning up co pletely drunk and urinating in the fireplace before passing out. Incidentally, or coincidentally, Gordon Bennett was also the name of a famous Australian Aboriginal artist. Alien Bodies: the reference that the Doctor cannot be drunk is contradicted (apart from in Transit) by the references made by Azmael and himself in the Twin Dilemma to a drunken binge involving a fountain. I'm also pretty sure that it says (or suggests) somewhere in 'Alien Bodies' that Quixotl is not a Time Lord. Personally, I think it's Glitz. As for Grandfather Paradox not being the Doctor, everyone seems to forget the Valeyard, who (suggestively) paradoxically wanted the Doctor dead. Just like Grandfather Paradox the Valeyard may have been marked by the High Council and may have later removed it. If 'Interference' is anything to go by, this may be how the Valeyard was created. Of course this may all be discounted by 'Matrix', which I haven't read :)

Favourite Book: Human Nature

Comments:
I've got two references for you in Timewyrm:Revelation. 1) p.10 Happy Mondays posters: Happy Mondays were a Madchester bacnd of the late eighties early nineties, mixing indie music with a kind of rap and were generally regarded as quite cool. They recently reformed. 2)p11. Tim Booth reference. Tim Booth is the lead singer of 'James' and at the time was probably quite fanciable. He's a bit old now. 3)p14. hooded Farm T-shirt. Another band, a bunch of Liverpudlians, The Farm's greatest hit was 'Altogether Now'. 4)p.36 'You're twisting my melon man': Reference to song lyrics from a Happy Mondays song. 5)p.38 Morecambe. Grim North western seaside town. 6)p.48 Fly Fishing by J.R.Hartley. Fictional book from a Yellow Pages commercial in which an old man wanders round many bookshops asking if they had a copy of the aforementioned book. Eventually he looks in the Yellow Pages and phones a book shop - they h ve a copy. They ask his name and he replies 'J.R. Hartley'. Heartwarming really. Hope these are of help.

Favourite Book: Revelation. Sometimes, anyway.

Comments:
This site is incredible! Good luck with it... I'll probably not be able to read a book without making notes all the time now I've seen this. Incidentally, the origin of the "so much to answer for" phrase about Manchester at the start of Goth Opera pre-dates the late 80s scene... the first instance of its use I know of was a Smiths lyric from the song 'Suffer Little Children' which was on their first album in about 1983 or 84. Sorry if you already know this/ couldn't care less... I'm just in the mood for pickiness.

Comments:
Come on with the references already, folks. I'm surprised I added two more chapters this week. It's not a good thing, I took time out from procrastinating other things for that. But I have a bit of sympathy for the people at the TARDIS Library and Ben uller and Roger Anderson's comic pages for not updating often enough. Just a bit. Youkali, the site of Bernice's archaeological dig in 'Return of the Living Dad' is named after a song by Kurt Weill. Some one wrote the lyrics later, about a fictional island of dreams. I ended up playing it on the radio this morning. My host was readi g this heart-rending story of a misunderstood governor in undemocratic 19th-Century Upper Canada. He tried so hard to satisfy the wealthy interests, and the common people hurled abuse at him. Such a shame, I thought, so I played some Weillean cabaret mu ic in the background just to be misanthropic. If only I'd had a dixieland CD..

I updated a couple of peoples' comments this week. I have pretty much no time for anything else. I scanned the alternate cover for 'Alien Bodies' printed in DWM a while back, but it's a PICT type image and Netscape won't touch it, let alone anchor it on the AB page. Oh, and Dave McIntee named the Adhudicators in 'The Dark Path' after the Marines in 'Aliens'.

Oh do I feel a fool. Congratulations Emily, you have spotted a pretty astounding typo. The Doctor is Johnny Chess's *godfather*. I will get right in and correct that.
