I decided that I needed a new book to read and managed to find one on my bookshelf that I’d only half read so thought I’d finish it off: Tower, An epic History of the Tower of London by Nigel Jones. I just wondered what everyone else is reading at the moment? What does everyone else like to read?
I have recently purchased a book of short stories by Italo Calvino. I am interested in Italo as he was Gore Vidal's favourite writer. I admire Gore a fair bit.
Less literary, but no less fascinating to me will be Lemmy from Motorheads Autobiography. Top bloke. I wish i were him sometimes. Anything has to be more interesting than this. I wish i lived on impulse alone.
We studied him at uni. There is one featuring a knight who is an empty suit of armour, but he is still.keen on pursuing various various lost causes
How is this supposed to be insulting or reflecting any kind of belief? I wrote about Agilulfo the knight in empty armour as one of my final essays! That is fact, and I didn't make the story up either, and nothing to do with any kind of belief whatsoever. I was interested because Calvino came up in that course.
Is that meant to be helpful/insulting or both? It's certainly incredibly direct. You must be very certain in your own beliefs to say something like that to me. Or perhaps not.
