What are you currently reading?

I'm just finishing the last Flashman book. I've read them all and think they're fantastic. Very funny and full of history. I'd recommend them to anyone (well they're lads books really), though try and read them in order and start with the first.

Book you wish you'd written?

Harry Potter and the Massive Advance Cheque.

Book you've re-read the most?

Animal Farm . It improves with every read. I'd love to write something that good one day.

If you're life were a book, what would it be called?

The Fucking Annoyed Diaries.

Who would write it?

I'd have to. No one else would give enough of a shit.

Favourite Poem?

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Favourite literary quotation?

‘The boy stood on the burning deck, his pockets full of crackers… etc.'

Favourite fictional character?

Jesus.

Fictional character you most identify with?

Rambo.

Whose book are you waiting for next?

Mine. I'm a bit stuck on chapter six. Any ideas? Also Harry Potter 5. I'm a big kid really.

Film that's better than the book?

The Shawshank Redemption . The film knitted a load of loose ends together and was much more satisfying than the book.

Book you're most embarrassed to have read?

Bi-curious? Some Common Questions Answered.

Favourite title of a novel?

The Kraken Wakes . I thought it was going to be about a big octopus, but it wasn't. Still, great book.
