Mum tookme to the library as a child. I was completely not interested in school, but 6 months after I left, and working as a landscape gardener, I was desperate to read a book. Headed to the library. The first was Stillwater Trout, followed by Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski, then I was off.

My mum worked in M&S and could tell you something about the psychology of Xmas food shoppers. Once, two women ended up on the floor fighting over a turkey.

I had been searching for my band. I tried Simple Minds and U2. I think I was aware of Boys Don't Cry already, but it was when my mate, Mike, played the first few bars of Pictures of You from Entreat. I was 13, I think. The Cure have never not been my band ever since.

Wife cooks during the week, I do weekends. Works well because she is brilliant at turning out a no-fuss delicious meal in 30mins. I'm rubbish at that but do a good Sunday roast. Don't mind washing up after while listening to the freak zone on @bbc6music.bsky.social Yes, after 9 when I'm finished.

I read this cover to cover when I was 18 on the recommendation of Colin from Radiohead. I'm not sure how much I retained as it is dense. I keep meaning to give it a second read.
