Avocatore

BA hons student, bookshop worker, aspiring writer and pub politician.

I believe that all we truly need to be happy in life is a warm place to stay, good food and drink, someone to roll around with and a creative outlet.

The books on my 'reading' list are books in my ownership (or that I intend to buy soon) that I haven't got round to yet. I am going to read them soon, and send them to the 'read' list.

There are plenty more I can't be bothered with yet.

I have read some very bad books. I don't think that's such a terrible thing: it makes you appreciate the greatness among the dross. I also still read childrens books, partly because they're fun and partly because I have ambitions of publication in any format, so the more the merrier.

-- Books I haven't found to list as 'read' --
