"PS, I Love You" by Cecelia Ahern
About the Book/Movie: Everyone needs a guardian angel! Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly and Gerry. Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other's sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each other. Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry's death devastates Holly. But as her 30th birthday looms, Gerry comes back to her. He's left her a bundle of notes, one for each of the months after his death, gently guiding Holly into her new life without him, each note signed 'PS, I Love You'. As the notes are gradually opened, and as the year unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged. The man who knows her better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. With some help from her friends, and her noisy and loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing--and being braver than ever before. Life is for living, she realises--but it always helps if there's an angel watching over you.

On Fiction Esoteric and Philosophical
I’m faced with a problem when attempting to describe my work. Sometimes I will tell a straighforward story, as I did in Apocalypse Cow and The Garden, to name just two; but sometimes, as I do in my most recent Horror to Culture offering The Vampyre and the God, or my proem The Fool and the Harlequin, I’m using archetypical language and symbols to express something beyond everyday human experience, but which I nevertheless hold to be true of the human psyche—both mine individually as well as the way it interfaces with the collective.

The Song of Achilles
Miller puts a romantic, emotional spin on a classic story that is absolutely lovely to read, as well as heartbreaking. Patroclus’ depiction here as Achilles’ mortal best friend turned mortal lover couples very well with the blossoming development of his own individual personhood throughout the story. The way he strove for and reached greatness in his own way was exhilarating to experience as his life became more intertwined with anger, tension, and the terrors of war. He is his own man while also feeling this deep, divine connection and loyalty to Achilles that sort of anchors him until he takes it upon himself to free them both, and in my opinion it’s written so very well. Also, the way Patroclus describes Achilles at several points in the novel is some of the most beautiful prose I’ve read in a while. The man was smitten, ya’ll.

Favourite Childhood Books
“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.” — Walt Disney I spent my childhood with my nose buried inside a book. My parents used to joke that it wasn't cheap to keep me in books. I loved thrifting for them with my Auntie.

(Derek speaking in foreign language) - 13. - 7. - 37. - 37? - 73. - 37. - 35. - 37. - [Emily] 37, no way! - 43. - 2. - 37. (Derek gasping) - I knew you were gonna do it.

(Emily gasping) Can I shake your hand? - [Derek] I love the thought you're putting into this. - 37? - No, you are kidding me!

Oh, my gosh, yes. - [Derek] Name a random number between 1 and 100. - 37. - Are you kidding me? Why? - It's a good number, I guess, any number. - [Derek] Where did that come from? - Imagination, I suppose. - So, what's going on? Well, people are actually really bad at selecting things randomly. In fact, when asked to pick a color and a number, people reliably select blue and 7 the most across dozens of different cultures. Psychologists have a name for this pattern. The blue-seven phenomenon. And when picking a random number between 1 and 100, it has long been suggested that the equivalent of the blue-seven phenomenon is the number 37. My producer, Emily, and I spoke to hundreds of people to test this theory. The most common answer was 7, but maybe that's because people just expected that we'd ask them for numbers between 1 and 10. The most common two-digit number really was 37, much to our surprise. (Derek and Emily gasping) So we decided to embark on the biggest investigation ever on the number 37. And it took us to some unexpected places. - I think 37 is a fascinating number. It's just really interesting because it turns up so much. How many objects are there here in the room with us that have a 37 on them? I'm sure there's more than 1,000 here. I built the 37 Website in 1994. I started getting email from strangers, it's everywhere. I'm trying to collect them all. We're tireless. The tireless cabal of 37 people, yeah.was 37. two reasons.- Let me show you something unbelievable. Name a random number between 1 and 100. - 61. - Okay, that's pretty random. - [Emily] Just name a random number from 1 to 100, random. - 43. - 43, thank you so much. - 56. - 7. - I want the most random number between 1 and 100, like totally random. - 11. - 37. - [Interviewee] 79. - 79,76,76 and other number with 37 words .thankyou .
