Stephen Fry is the man.  I had to pick a british author at random for a high school project about 6 years ago and read some of their books and I chose him because the teacher said he wrote comedy.  Are you familiar with any of his novels?

:awesome:

"I'm offended."

"well so fuckin what?" :thumbup:


I find myself saying that to people so often lol

They say it like we're supposed to owe them something. If there's anything worse than no sympathy, it's expecting it. Pathetic.

Is he the guy who said:

“I would like to show more respect to peoples' sincerely held beliefs, but unfortunately that would violate my own sincerely held belief that religion is a filthy lie and a threat to civilization.”

I could never find the author of that awesome quote...

I have never read any of his books, are they any good? Worth reading? I'm a very big fan of his TV work, tough. That "old bipolar fag" is a genius! :lol:

Hell yeah. 

Making History is my favorite.

Quote:

The story is told in first person by Michael "Puppy" Young, a young history student at Cambridge University on the verge of completing his doctoral thesis on the early life of Adolf Hitler and his mother. He meets Professor Leo Zuckerman, a physicist who has a strong personal interest in Hitler, the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. Michael assumes this is due to his Jewish heritage. However, it is later revealed that Leo was born Axel Bauer, the son of Dietrich Bauer, a Nazi doctor at Auschwitz. Leo has developed a machine that enables the past to be viewed—but it is of no practical use as the image is not resolvable into details. Together, they hatch a plan to modify the machine such that it can be used to send something back into time. They decide to use a permanent male contraceptive pill, stolen from Michael's girlfriend (a biochemistry researcher), who, due to his continual distraction, has left him to take a position at Princeton University. They send this pill back in time to the well in Braunau am Inn so that Hitler's father will drink it, be made infertile, and Hitler will never be born. Michael sends the pill back and everything changes.




It's badass, it shows a world without Hitler, but someone way worse.


and The Stars' Tennis Balls which is like a modern Count of Monte Cristo

Quote:

For Ned, 1980 seems a blissful year. Handsome, charming, popular and talented, his life is progressing smoothly, effortlessly, happily. And when he meets the lovely Portia Fendeman his personal jigsaw appears complete. But timing is everything in life, and his life is about to change for ever. Things are going to get very bad indeed for innocent young Ned. A promise made to a dying teacher and a spiteful trick played by fellow pupils will rocket Ned from cricket captain to solitary confinement, from head boy to hell. When Ned emerges he is a man bent on just one thing - revenge; and revenge is a dish he plans to savour and serve to those who conspired against him. Part love story, part thriller, a gloriously rich mix that only Stephen Fry can dish up to us, The Stars' Tennis Balls will leave you happy and replete.

I'm probably going to reread them now that I think about it.  It's been a while and I forget a ton of the story.  I just remember 'Making History' being one of those books I'd go out of my way to finish.

I respect people who are respectful of others.  Unfortunately, that rules out a lot of people on both sides of the religion vs. atheism debate.

I own a signed copy of the Stars Tennis Balls. (I bought it new just after it had come out, after two days I noticed some fucktard had scribbled in it. Upon closer inspection the scrawl appeared to read "Stephen Fry" :facepalm:, I guess it was left over from a book signing. :smile:)
My personal favorite of his is the Hippopotamus, closely followed by the Liar.

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
