It's great that 'real' books can still create so much excitment in this multimedia age.

The last one came out when l was living in Glasgow and people were out all night outside Border's books in Argyle Street. Two of my staff and requested the day off, and one [later sacked, but not for this] took the day off to get his copy.

The books aren't for me l'm afraid, though l have read two to my godson. Fantasy just doesn't rattle my cage, just as Lord of the Rings didn't either.

James Baldwin, Bret Easton Ellis, Jean Genet or any other homo realist anyday for me.
