The Tickle Fox
I'm better known by another name on another site, but this is for some of my quirkier pursuits that don't interest my friends there. Some of this stuff will be general-interest film geekery, some will be an outlet for Secret Fandoms and fascinations. Lately this involves loads of Marc Warren and Bowie ;)

David Bowie and Books
Because this combo never fails to make me smile :) Please add more pics and quotes if you have them on hand!
What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
“Reading.”
What is the quality you most like in a man?
“The ability to return books.”
“My brother was one of the bigger influences in my life, in as much as he told me I didn’t have to read the choice of books that I as recommended at school, and that I could go out to the library and go and choose my own, and sort of introduced me to authors that I wouldn’t have read, probably. You know, the usual things like the Jack Kerouacs, the Ginsbergs, the e.e. Cummings and stuff.”
“The truest form of any form of revolutionary Left, whatever you want to call it, was Jack Kerouac, e.e. Cummings, and Ginsberg’s period. Excuse me, but that’s where it was at.”
“People are so fucking dumb. Nobody reads anymore, nobody goes out and looks and explores the society and culture they were brought up in. People have attention spans of five seconds and as much depth as a glass of water.”
“I’m a born librarian with a sex drive.”
“Don’t you love the Oxford Dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really really long poem about everything.“
“I’m looking for backing for an unauthorized auto-biography that I am writing. Hopefully, this will sell in such huge numbers that I will be able to sue myself for an extraordinary amount of money and finance the film version in which I play everybody.”
“There are half a dozen subjects that I return to time and time again, and that doesn’t bother me. Because most of my favorite writers do that, to hunt down the same topic or theme from different directions each time.”
“I’ll tell you who I absolutely adore: Ian McEwan.”
“I’m a real self-educated kind of guy. I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can’t throw it away. It’s physically impossible to leave my hand! Some of them are in warehouses. I’ve got a library that I keep the ones I really really like. I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself–I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, ‘Fuck, I can’t read two-thirds of these books.’ It overwhelms me with sadness.“

There’s probably a German compound word for that feeling you get at 2am when you’re single in your mid twenties and the creeping doubt that you’ve somehow missed your only chance at love because you didn’t meet someone in college and now it’s too late
