       #WritersCoffeeClub Apr 25 - World Penguin Day! How have ‘the classics’ influenced your work? Only in a negative way. There was the Joseph Conrad assigned reading book that made me almost lethally depressed within two chapters - I refused to read any more of that.More recently, Bram Stoker's Lair of the White Worm, and Haggard's Allan Quatermain fascinated me with the depths of racism and mysogeny that were acceptable at the time they were written. Surprisingly, over all we have evolved somewhat as a society.
