But you must have read at least one fiction book, Keith. Surely? My aim in life is to write the kind of book that people who never read books read, and then they go on and on about it for the rest of their lives, because it was really good, but they never seem to feel the urge to read another. >>
Why has no-one yet mentioned Paul Auster? The descriptions of the beauty of coincidence and relatively 'trivial' yet profound incidents in the likes of Moon Palace or City Of Glass are surely a lot closer to B&S's emotional landscape than the likes of Camus, Sartre... or anything else from the Manics reading list, for that matter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
