	Review: The SEX Column by David Langford
		Langford, for those not already familiar with the name, is an SF news reporter, encyclopedist, and writer about SF par excellence with enough Hugos to sink a ship.
		Langford is almost always amusing and always worth reading, but as collections go, this was the least satisfying of his that I've read.
		Langford has a great dry wit and a way with words, and I would still recommend this book for pick-up reading between other things, but for an introduction I'd recommend one of his other collections (The Silence of the Langford would be an excellent choice).

	David Langford: The SEX Column (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		As the back of The SEX Column points out, David Langford has "the largest arsenal of [Hugos] outside California and the second largest in the world." Although The SEX Column may add to his total, the columns which are reprinted within this volume are not, in theory, among those he has won a Hugo for.
		Langford's columns cover a wide range of topics in science fiction, from the film and fandom to literature and conventions.
		Although these essays are not fannish writing, they are indicative of Langford's style and it is quite possible that many who vote in the Hugos think of these essays when filling out their ballots.

		Langford's fiction-writing side by searching out one of his novels, and the first one I chose was The Leaky Establishment.

	Different Kinds of Darkness by David Langford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The typical Langford tale is built on a solid foundation of either an ingeniously original idea, or a refreshingly new spin on a familiar notion.
		Langford may be best known for his humor and fan writing in the multiple-Hugo-winning fanzine Ansible, but his short fiction is also worth noting.
		David Langford has produced well written, yet offensively amusing, gibberish about Edward Lear's penile bioluminescence, along with a rather troubling picture of those who write nonsense verse for children.

	The Silence of the Langford
		The Silence of the Langford incorporates all the contents of the Hugo-nominated chapbook Let's Hear it for the Deaf Man except for "Starts and Stop" which was withdrawn at the author's request.
		Of all the science fiction writers living within a stone's throw of the cemetery on the east side of Reading, Dave Langford is undoubtedly the deafest — and, it pains me to admit, the funniest.
		It is a tragedy to readers of serious fiction that David Langford has recklessly chosen to squander so many of his splendid talents on demagoguery aimed at science fiction fandom, the street people of the literary world.

	Review: Up Through an Empty House of Stars by David Langford
		Langford reads plenty of mid-list SF as well as better-known works.
		Langford covers G.K. Chesterton, Anthony Boucher, Ernest Bramah, and Rex Stout in some depth, and his enthusiasm for all of them is contageous.
		(a generally better collection), but Langford is always amusing, and there is a lot of insight into the classics of SF and a fair map to good places to explore.

	Review - The Leaky Establishment by David Langford
		The Leaky Establishment is an atomic farce whose author David Langford once worked in the gentle radioactive glow of Britain's nuclear weapons industry, and who hilariously satirises it from the inside.
		Now this may seem a little hard to believe but Langford puts it across very well, explaining how to the Robinson Heath employees these things are as common as packages to a postman.
		Thus ensues an every increasing number of attempts to smuggle the device back in before anyone notices and Roy is hung for treason.

		Langford had a long career as a professional physicist, and this shows in the convincing physics he puts on display in this fast-moving, thought-provoking tale.
		At the same time, he wears his expertise lightly: the reader is never stifled by the science, nor struggling to comprehend it.
		Very few authors get this balance right, but Langford does it perfectly...

		"Langford is a consistently entertaining stylist who takes his material seriously, but not too seriously, and who after nearly three decades remains a valuable and eminently sane voice in the field." Almost, I blush.
