I could listen to Mr Self reading the back of a cat litter bag (compliment!) . . . brilliant. thanks for uploading. Really enjoy your videos. Will, if you happened to read this - consider a (very long) unabridged audio version of the trilogy - if you had nothing else to do . . .

I thought about driving in from Louisville, Kentucky for this. I now wish that I had as I haven't seen Will do a reading since I was living in New York and "Umbrella" just had just come out. (And he doesn't come to colonies often.) Hope to see him again in the not-too-distant future.

Will Self is fantastic and a phenomenal writer, articulate and wise but he is also often full of shit. I think that'a fair loving assessment. I love him, especially this trilogy.

[@sherlockholmeslives.1605]

I imagine that Will Self reads lots of books.

[@sherlockholmeslives.1605]

I think if someone can read a 300 page + novel and understand it and enjoy it and remember the story line to it for years later, and do the same for many 300 + page novels, remembering the characters and story to all of them for years later, then that is GENIUS! I can read, what I have a problem with his putting the words along the sentences in a way that makes understandings and meanings in my brain. Enjoy your Summer, Lex! With Best Wishes! Cheers - Mike.

Lex Wick Self's books are a fucking drudge. I threw his last one away. He has zero ability to connect emotionally, just a load of word wank.

To paraphrase: It's expensive to pay for using another's work. Catch me if you can.

Not sure about the northern accent.
