Lord of the Flies, ch1 →
Have just finished chapter one of a re-read of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. This was a set work in school many years ago but it was, without doubt, one of the books that had the most influence on me and one which, years later, continues to resonate.

Spent many an hour reading OMNI. Fantastic that almost the entire collection is now available as a digital archive.

Years of being Dungeon-Master not only honed my imagination to...
