oh! and i will never again willingly read a line by that putrid arse stewart home.

Same here. There's something about the particular way he's pretentious that really irritates me. A few people have expressed surprise that I don't like his writing, implying that somehow I ought to be into it. But it's bollocks.

Having said that, I would not read the Mailor the Mail on Sunday, .

I have to admit that these don't amuse me as much as the Sun but they do provide some comedy value now and again.

I don't think I would wish to read anything advertised on train platforms endorsed by WHSmith, Jeffrey Acrher, celebrity autobiograhies, royal biographies, sports biographies, personality obsessed political books, cheap fantasy, cook books with vegetables I'll never find, the dreaded Potter or anything by Piers Morgan.

Any book by that smug cunt Sebastian Faulkes. AK tells me Birdsong is really good but I just can't give his books houseroom.

I had read various reviews of Birdsong, along with comments on various web-sites. It seemed to me that it is one of these books that you either love or hate. I try not to be put off reading a book, based on someone else's opinion (unless it is panned by 100% of reviewers). So I read it and thought it was excellent.

Books I wouldn't read are the awful looking romances that my wife reads; there is a bundle of them sitting right here - Frances Anne Bond, Veronica Henry, Rebecca Shaw, Catherine Coulter are just some of the authors names (mind you, if I was stranded on a desert island and these were the only books I had, I probably would read them).
