Bibliomania
This wonderful site has over 2000 classic texts on
line, covering fiction, reference, poetry, biography
- oh, you
name it, they've got it. You can search the entire
database, and even e-mail them with any literary
question you want
answered.
www.campbeltown.info A
new site still in the process of being set up, but
which promises to have lots of detail about my home
town.
http://www.machrihanish.net A site all
about Machrihanish, where I spent hours as a child, playing
on the beach or in my aunt’s lovely
big house.
Internet Movie Data Base
This is the most comprehensive database of film
and television (from both sides of the Atlantic)
that
you could possibly
wish for. My first proudest moment was when I saw
my author copies of A Perfect Match. My second
was when I discovered
that I had my own entry in the IMDB.
Soupsong
A site you can get lost in for hours. It's all
about…soup.
Soup in song, soup in the movies, soup in literature,
soup in history, soup anywhere…not to mention
recipes for every conceivable kind of soup. And
you can subscribe
to a monthly newsletter that both informs and entertains
you, whether you like soup or not. Check it out!
Friends
Reunited
I’d been meaning to try out Friends Reunited for
months, but didn’t get round to it until very recently.
And my very first search turned up the very school friend
I mention in my biography. The girl with whom I climbed
trees and with whom I inexplicably lost touch was contactable
with a click of the mouse, and we are now catching up
on decades of news. This site is a wonderful idea, and
is very efficiently and sensibly run.
