The first music album Glen Donaldson ever owned was by Suzie Quatro. The last movie he saw at the cinema was AVATAR in 2009. His favourite literary anecdote is that during WW2 on D Day, JD Salinger fought with 6 chapters of the as-yet-unfinished The Catcher in the Rye in his backpack. And his all-time favourite weather description in a novel (of which he cannot remember the title or author) is "The air is fifty knives of cold".
