I was trying to be funny, you know pointing out how that book didn't really sell enough copies to. Ah forget it. I'll quit while I'm somewhat ahead.Actuallu Venus on the Half Shell was one of the more successful ones... But not 'til it's 12th printing...

I know it didn't; that's why I wrote what I did. In BRITAIN, a "redbrick" university is a certain type: founded in the 19th or 20th century, (therefore snobbishly regarded as "NEW" by Oxford and Cambridge); had the image of being for poorer people. When I attended QMC I received a non-repayable Government grant which covered my tuition and housing. This was because my parent's income was below a certain level. By the way, my father's real name was Phil Farmer. Coulda swore his FIRST name was Kurt.... Quote from: patio on August 22, 2009, 10:44:55 AM Coulda swore his first name was Kurt.... This CONFUSION has plagued the Trout family for decades. A certain Mr Vonnegut wrote a book featuring an imaginary science fiction writer called Kilgore Trout. Later, Philip José Farmer wrote "Venus On The Half Shell" under that name. I am actually named after a British railway locomotive, an A3 Pacific type, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. |
