    My mother enjoys his books. I tried one but it was perhaps a little too cerebral for me more of a Reacher fan myself!

    But good on him for the kilted appearances, seems a charming person.

    Q: You wear kilts to your readings, correct?

    A: Yes, I think it shows that one is dressing up to mark the occasion. And people like them!
    This sums it all up, good for him!
    That's the way I see it too, wearing a kilt is dressing up to every occasion.

    Even when wearing it in a casual fashion...it still looks better than anything else.

    I agree with his kilt philosophy.
