You can tell a lot about a person by the books they read and the music they listen to. I haven’t had too much time for reading lately because I’ve been writing such a lot. But reading has brought as much pleasure to me as sex. I don’t like to think of a world without music and books. If the fundamentalists ever take over and start burning books I’d have to martyr myself in the cause.
These then are the books I have been reading this year. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them all. Though some more than others. Colin Wilson was a bit disappointing and much as I adore Son House, the book on him was not brilliant and wrong in places.

I like that thing you said about judging people based on the books they read, kind of reminded me of Forrest Gump. It’s important to continue to read other books, because they can teach you and thing of too. Hope I spelled that one write for you. Keep it up with the writing, the more you do it, the better you will become. You have a good writing style,we may not often see eye to eye, but we both know we are writers.who are going places.
That’s OK – we don’t have to all be the same. Respect is what it’s about – plus a bit of honesty and passion.
