In your faces, reader rivals!

I won Cynical Ben's First Line Competition! I guessed eight books correctly, worked out that one of them was written by him, and failed miserably on the Leonora Carrington one (hangs head in shame).

Poor old Cynical returned from holiday to find his house had become an aquarium. Be nice to him.

An English lecturer bragging about winning a competition about books.

Jeez. Join me next time when I jump up and down in celebration having beaten a bunch of 9 year olds on a quiz about the splendid 1942 Hitchcock movie 'Saboteur'.

I was being humorous! In any case, I win very little in life.

Are you suggesting that any of my students (there were other competitors) aren't extremely well-read?

Yes, I am.

Although this all might be because I'm too hot and there was a queue at the barbers earlier.
