It is often difficult for those who argue that a modern book is one of the literary greats to get support for their argument. For some reason, when it comes to literature, age is one of the most important factors for being considered brilliant. That is not obviously universally true, but you can't help wondering if Austin or Dickens were writing now would they be noticed as much?

One of the more remarkable things about any event that happens in the world, particularly if it has an enormous impact is that when the first couple of news cycles have gone through broadcasters start looking for new twists on old stories. At which point things that are cited as 'influences' often start to appear. Marilyn Manson is a prime example, being cited for violence in American schools, but there are literary examples as well.
That particularly branch of literature called Science Fict...

For us poor sods stuck in rainy Britain for our holidays this summer, finding a holiday read beyond the usual escapist fantasies (that make us feel all the more miserable by virtue of the fact we're still stuck here) or the run of the mill crime thrillers that seem to be the only things set in the UK is a nigh on impossible task. There is nothing that appeals, nothing that catches the eye or tickles your fancy. However, I would suggest looking backwards to the classics.

There seems to be a Shakespeare quotation for every occasion and dilemma. When it comes to justifying a little gastronomic indulgence in the face of puritan health-fanatics, we have a tailor made couple of lines from the aptly-named Sir Toby Belch. Sir Toby is one of the most colourful characters in the Bard's transitional cross-dressing comedy-romance, Twelfth Night. Rotund, robust, and never short of a drink or two, Sir Toby defends his lifestyle to the haughty Malvolio with a rambunctious an...

Ever since mankind progressed beyond its original Neanderthal tendencies and hunting and gathering was no longer sufficient as a method of seduction, men have been wooing (or attempting to woo) their desired women with clichéd gifts such as chocolates, jewellery, perfume and flowers. But behind every cliché there lie few crucial grains of truth, so are these really the keys to a woman's heart or are they overused and out-dated?
Chocolate, of course, is rather dependent on personal tastes and...
