@StephenFryphile Hello! The book is a selection of poems called the 'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'. Limp-bound editions of books are ones printed with a soft cover, I think the better ones are normally leather, though I'm not sure about the last bit.
@StephenFryphile I should've said collection rather than selection, Khayyam was a famous Perisan poet, known for quatrains. I've got a copy, I can highly recommend it. (It's not limp-bound though, unfortunately.)
His feelings towards music and sport. When I read this in his autobiography I was overwhelmed. I couldn't belive somebody could so perfectly describe MY OWN feelings about not being able to sing a note and hating school sports. I LOVE YOU, Stephen.
I'm getting them all over the place. I'm reading his autobiography and I keep coming across stories I recognise from QI, or his podcasts, or interviews. Almost makes me think I'm too ardent of a follower of his...no, that's not possible!
I love how Parkinson says "autobography"

Clearly I'm watching too much of Fry's stuff. I've heard most of these anecdotes/jokes before.

@WalterLiddy Me too! :D I never get tired of that voice, though!

"He has a brain the size of Kent and should be displayed in the Millenium Dome as a national treasure." That's a pretty accurate assessment.

"Don't be clever, Fry"
"Alright, Saab, how stupid would you like me to be?"
He's EXUDES brilliance.

This must be hell for Lee Evans, sitting beside a man with charm/ wit /the ability to be even remotely funny.

@FortisConscius Not to mark words here, but do you mean "rapport"? Other than that, I am in perfect agreement with you :)

Here Stephen Fry makes me think of Roger Ebert when he was younger, though taller and without glasses.
