h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...but I can't f@*king stand Will Self!

again, I'm sorry, but I had to say it.

Oh that's okay............who do you like, then??

umm...where do i start? i like lots of people, just not WS!

well go ON then. how can we talk books unless you wiggle your toes in the water?

ahh, books is it? i can't say i've read any will self books, i've read parts of about half a dozen of his essays and listened to him on radio & tv. i've even got him as a guest on a Bomb The Bass LP, although i usually skip that track.

well, books. umm.....

i really like Philip K Dick, William Gibson & Jeff Noon. but then i like sci-fi. i used to be well into Clive Barker but i think i grew out of all that horror business (i may never finish that HP Lovecraft book i started about 5 years ago).

i don't tend to read much fiction these days, i'm mostly into factual & philosophical books.

oh right. when i was alluding to will self i was alluding to him as a writer, not the attendant media interest that the books have brought him. philosophy, eh? i cant say i've read much, but i do like it. i'm particuarly drawn to deconstruction.
