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.

I am exagerrating the issue just for the sake of a laugh. I know what you mean about the book thing Peter, I always get dead excited when you get a record like say "The Stone Roses" which goes and makes a load of people who didn't really listen to music get into it big style - that happened to quite a lot of people when I was in 6th year with that record. I have read some books... I read a lot of biographies - read the Nick Drake one, and just read a Buzzcocks one and am going to get Johnny Rogan's remixed Byrds book too soon - hell I'm going to get the Stranglers one too. Fiction however's a different story. I've read "Star Wars" and read all of Hargreaves' books (Roger). I've read lots of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks too. I've read all the ones I was forced to read at school, but that's about it. It's no great loss to me, it's always been music and paintings for me really, that's all. If I feel the need, I will read some books, but I'll have to have a reason really - as Bobby Gillespie once mused about Acid House and Rock, "It's all the fuckin' same thing anyway" which I tend to agree with. Oh incidentally - I certainly don't read books about computers - I think someone read that into what I said. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
