Introduction The title of this may sound like I am not too impressed with Keith Emerson, but while some of his work with The Nice and Emerson, Lake and Palmer left me cold, a lot of it made my jaw drop.

A Plagiaristic Library
I was just looking at book titles and thought that they would be a good idea for my Plagiaristic Poetry series. It also means that you can see and read the sort of things that I read. This is obviously just a tiny selection of the books in Chateau Dredd
