Sinister: I'm just out of the trees

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.
