    The Remains of the Day (Ishiguru), Wuthering Heights (Bronte), The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman (both Fowles), Captain Correlli's Mandolin (de Bernieres), Diary of a Nobody (Grossmith - the funniest book ever written), any Flashman book (Fraser).
    What are your working habits when you write?
    Procastinatory
    Are you the edit-every-sentence-ten-times type, or do you prefer to let rip?
    Prefer to let rip and edit afterwards
    Your ultimate writing ambition?
    To be in my local Waterstones and see somebody pull one of my books off a bookshelf, have a quick browse through it, then reach for their wallet and head for the till.
    Your worst habit?
    In just 255 characters?
    Your opinion on the books industry?
    Too much celebrity and hype, but good books still get through

    What else do you want Word Clouders to know? eg: do you have 9 cats / like paragliding / eat nothing but tinned fish / work in the bath / live in Kettering?
    I am an optimist. I am a romantic. I spent 19 years as an Army officer, but I'm an anarchist at heart. I want to have William Blake round for dinner.

    hmm.. A bit more modern but I'd love to have Michael Palin round.. He must have some stories to tell and lets face it, he can probably tell them well.
    I'm pretty sure he'd smell better than William Blake too!
