I read that he has recently had a rediscovery of faith and is now critical of the atheist position.; 15 November, 2010 07:57

Re the pic: I sure hate aging. Where are the magical DNA curatives?

Other: I'd enjoy seeing close ups of the fabric if it has a pattern worthy of the effort. Perhaps other patrons would, too?

Thanks again.; 15 November, 2010 14:18

A Super Dilettante said...: One thing that signifies A. N. Wilson for me is his voice more than his clothes. One of the main things that set the young fogeys set apart from the rest is not only the clothes they wear but also the fact that they usually come from educated background. While I was listening to his essay on the Russian novelist, Tolstoy on the BBC radio 3 last night, his voice is incredibly mellow, absolutely clear and undeniably cultivated voice. You won't hear a sloane ranger speaks like A.N. Wilson.

He is a wonderful storyteller. He manages to both charm and enthuse at the same time. Above all, his voice is the voice of Oxbridge educated man from bygone era. It's magisterial, gripping, eloquent and his diction is crisp, clear and lacking grammatical mistakes.; 17 November, 2010 05:09
