The subject of wizards and sex is a complicated one, but as has already been indicated it does, in essence, boil down to this: when it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like.

@Nickiquote @DJDarren

i also pictured 4 individual eyes, till i noticed all his double meanings.

a friend at school told me about it, but i didn't try it.

the covers put me off, and i thought it would be too fantasy and geeky.

his name didn't help.

it was 20 years later that someone gave me a book, and i was hooked.

i now return the favor and give people his books where i can.
