🥹Susan Abulhawa.👏❤️Fast forward years later, she still exudes “grace in the face of violence…against the loveless world.”☮️💕🇵🇸

I've been "calling" in, and nobody's taking my "calls." I want to speak to somebody in charge. Quite frankly, this is ridiculous.

I thought Lapvona was a great book. I loved the way we got into the heads and into the thinking of these chronologically and geographically distant (from me) characters. I thought all their reasoning felt well-grounded and rooted in their own beliefs and experiences. They felt distinct and real. I think I’m gonna re-read it (he said, for the interest of no one).

The man with CP had a beautiful statement and drew the obvious line to euthanasia that I guess went over Adam’s head lol I love listening to Adam Rutherford but sometimes he’s a bit goofy and quick to speak. Especially cutting off Dr. Curry at the end of the interview portion. 🫠 But fr loved this talk.

Wow!!!!!...she talks very very fast...

Love this man, such a talented , humble man

Once again this election week in UK and in France, Xenophobia and rascism are key issues being peddled in mainstream politics. Rant on!

Banksters forever @#hautefinance

Going to jail soon 😂 Karma has shown it's action

How amazing to hear about the people in your own life came to draw out your story. I feel very privileged to have known and played with a young girl with Downs’ Syndrome. And, so, I was fascinated to connect with the characters in your “community noir” :-). Thank you so much for your writing. I recently read your 2nd in the Matthew Venn series and enjoyed it immensely. I discovered that I’d been missing these characters very much. And I’ve also read a couple of the 4th series (or was it a first series)? Yours in Gratitude

This book makes me want to write my own version of four opportunities for the living of my own life. I went through those years myself and I like to see them reflected in Auster. I wish he had lived longer.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that's the first time SikTh have been mentioned at any book festival.

Everything you say rings true - thank you - it seems I am only destined to read or finish books that I fall in love with - I wish your books were part of our schooling system -

Reading the second book no know thevsame can’t put it $o win x

Just found you. You are wonderful. I love your videos especially the bears. 😅

Respect 🇯🇲

Janey you are bloody amazing. From one spatchcock chicken to another... dinnae fash what we can't control (I'm in the same boat & get you 200%). Live your life - you're inspiring!

I have read one of her books 'The forty rules of love', really interesting & exciting book, based on some morale lessons

"Oohh, I quite like that" X'D

She looks like John Malcovich

Thank you so much for your books and for the philosophy they impart. I try very hard to practice what I refer to as the AMS method of dealing with people. Reaching out and being kind because I don't know what they are dealing with and I have found it to be so relaxing to practice this and it's all because of you. Our daughter visited the Vanola Crolla store when she was in Edinbough recently and brought back a signed copy of The Perfect Passion Company. I am just finishing some of one of your other books so as soon as I finish that I will start on that book.. Olivia told my daughter that you are a very nice man and stop in there all the time and that you had managed to include her in one of your 44 Scotland Street books. I look forward to reading more of your books.

Now we all are a 'global village' courtesy of the internet. It is hard to realise how segregated the world was. I have listened to his pitch, as he plugs it on the 'web'.. It seems just as weighted to a target audience as probably anything published. He'll be on Bridgerton next...

Fascinating!

What a pleasure to stumble on this talk with two erudite master cartoonists, who are also real wits!

Maggie!! You are amazing❤

I've had the conversation with many a Christian, that they are missing out on the fascinating drama, e.g. in Genesis, by reading it as if it's actual history (a truly preposterous notion). For example, if you believe God is perfect and never made a mistake (as I've often heard), you then have to somehow ignore that God spends pretty much the whole of Genesis blundering through and having to negotiate with his creation of Mankind (brilliant stories). Likewise, almost every Christian I've chatted with says the bible has mo contradictions, so I tell them to please go home and carefully read the short story of Noah's Ark that they know so well, perhaps take notes, and get back to me. Sometimes i supply three questions: How many of each animal went onto the Ark? How many days passed between Niah and co getting on board and the rain starting? For how many days did it rain? Often, the response is an enthusiastic "Yes, I'll read it tonight." Not a single Christian has ever reported back to me.

It's always wonderful to hear Alan Lee talking about his work...but it could be even better if his works were catch entirely on camera during his speech 🙄

1:10:30 I'm actually considering another book of slightly longer short stories

1:09:47 the legend!!

13:48 This actually makes me really sad. I don't think he meant it to come off this way, but basically he's been so harassed and brow beaten and ignored that he has learned that most of the time when he says "No" he might as well just say "Yes" and save himself the time and energy. That's pretty F-d up if you think about it. I'm glad he's managed to see all the positive aspects in it, and for that particular anecdote he made a friend out of it and was retroactively glad he had done it, but I still don't think that justifies other people's behavior.

Hes about as scientific as John Barnes

"watch TV, learn English", that was my path

"all fiction is speculative, it's made up boo" 😂 absolutely pissing myself

Having grown up with this lovely man, I can tell you there is no off button! He’s just constantly entertaining - oh and a brilliant footballer!

A scientific scandal is how you and your cronies at Humanists UK have repeatedly sacrificed truth for virtue signalling. No one should ever forget the cowardice you showed over Covid and the trans cult. Shame.

Ireland is a colony of the USA. The gay marriage thing appears from nowhere via SCOTUS decision that imposed it top down. Irish intellectuals desperate to be “respected” by AngloAmerican world repeat their ideas back to them.

Thanks for the video ! Nevertheless it's a pity we didn't get an interview containing spoilers, it would have taken the conversation way further...

Is this the guy who doesn’t believe races are different? Look how different he looks to the interviewer! No such thing as race?? How can anyone take someone like this seriously? Many scientists have been called out the last 5 years and rightfully so. We should do our best to challenge these ideologues.

Deep frying my mix tapes! I would have died. I left a bunch from my best friend in the auditorium mezzanine in high school where I was hiding out by myself during a free period, but had taken a wander and didn't make it back to my stuff before I had to go to my next class. I didn't remember until the next day. Never saw them again. Gutted.

I encountered Phillipe Sands while reading for the Bar in the mid-1980s. He went on to be a great advocate, writer & renaissance man. I got side-tracked into "eating for a living" and was dispatched worldwide to enjoy my metier.

Fantastic. Enjoyed every bit of it.

What a kind and humane person. I came here after watching his fascinating conversation with Richard Dawkins. We world can do with more of him.

TALK ABOUT NORAH VINCENT

Men are sick of being told are worthless while they are literally what sustains this ungrateful society. Remember: Men build houses Women move in

7:14

The caste system never left the new world! 😀

She sounds like a right mess .

Luvvie who 'knows all the right people' Zzźzzzzźzzzzzzz

Wow, i can't believe Scotland has their prime ministers host a book event. We need more of this!!

I will need you.
