True Or False: A new book from Charles Fudgemuffin?

True!

True Or False:
A Collection Of 100 Light-Hearted Facts And Bluffs

It's been around a year now since I published my early scifi themed series of books, and after writing a story which spanned six books and approximately two thousand pages, I initially felt like I needed to recharge my batteries before writing my next novel. 

I have since started writing my next novel, but it may be quite a few months before it's ready for publication, so as a diversion until then, I've also written a non-fiction book.

Well ... it's sort of non-fiction. I suppose you could more accurately describe it as half non-fiction and half fiction, as my new book is entitled 'True Or False: A Collection Of 100 Light-Hearted Facts And Bluffs'. As the name suggests, it's a collection of 'facts' some of which are true, and others of which are nothing more than devious bluffery.

The book is a change of direction from my previous scifi books, and features a writing style closer to what you would find on this blog. To give you a flavour of what to expect, this is the first true or false 'fact' featured in the book...

Would you rather?

A new blog from Charles Fudgemuffin.

'Would you rather?' A blog of dilemmas.

Anyone who’s ever read my early scifi books will know that the main character is a big fan of the 'would you rather?' game. By a strange coincidence, I’m also a big fan of 'would you rather?' myself, and so I recently decided to start a new blog dedicated to that theme.

Some of the 'would you rather?' dilemmas featured on the blog are inspired by 'would you rather?' scenarios featured in my books, while others are entirely new scenarios. Each 'would you rather?' question takes the form of a poll, and to give you an example of the sort of dilemmas you can find on the 'would you rather?' blog, the first few dilemmas include questions such as:

'Would you rather win the lottery of cure malaria from the world?'

'Would you rather find out how you die or when you die?'

And...

Sneeze page: Four of my favourite posts

Charles Fudgemuffin goes green!

Recycling old rubbish.

I’m a firm believer in recycling, so when I recently read a post on another blog discussing the concept of a ‘sneeze’ page, whereby you basically recycle your most popular old posts to create a fresh new compilation post, I was instantly intrigued. As well as the green aspect, my lazy side was also attracted by the thought of reusing old material, and so after reading the article I decided to compile my own sneeze page.

So on that note, here are five of my favourite posts to have previously appeared on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog:

1) 10 cool internet Easter eggs

This post features a selection of weird hidden features (known as Easter eggs) found on the internet, and at the time of writing it gets more page views via Google than any other post on my blog. It features some reasonably well-known Easter Eggs such as the YouTube snake and facebook hidden languages, but also showcases some less well-known internet Easter eggs such as an amusing website reporting on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and there’s also a mention for a little known trick found on wikipedia.
