Pennan Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I went to hear Jon Ronson read from some of his books as part of the 'Aye Write' book festival in Glasgow last week. My partner and teenage daughter also love his column in Saturday's Guardian. Our daughter bought his latest, Out of the Ordinary, and got it signed by him at the end. She enjoyed her chat with him and his son! The 3 of us, and the rest of the audience, thoroughly enjoyed his readings and the chat...! Did anyone else go? Quote
Polka Dot Rock Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I didn't, but I do read his columns every Saturday in the Guardian's Weekend magazine He's so funny! In both senses, lol. What was he like? I imagine he's quite different from the persona he uses when writing. Quote
Pennan Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 He's quite relaxed in his style, easily goes off at a tangent, but has lots to say! When he's 'thinking', he uses a different voice, sort of quieter, so know when I read his column, I can imagine him reading it! He is quite nutty! There is a podcast of his reading, and others, but haven't looked at it myself yet. http://www.theherald.co.uk/ayewrite/ Quote
