Childhood

In books it was Willard Price again. I didn’t realise there was any racism but you’re a bit blind to it at 10. Read every volume of a junior encyclopedia at that age as well. Ted Hughes’s The Iron Man.

Teens

Horror fiction – Squirm, the Rats, the Fog, passed around by us teens, with the pages including sex turned down (and there was a lot of it in James Herbert books). Pan horror anthologies. Stephen King books up to It. The Ginger Man by JP Donleavy. Animal Farm. All the All Creatures Great and Small novels.

Adulthood

Part of my university course was literature so read some excellent 20th century Russian and American literature – favourites were everything by Bulgakov (Master and Margarita is my fave book of all time), all John Irving’s books, Joseph Heller’s Catch 22, the Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces. In my first flatshare in London, someone recommended John Cowper Powys, which was 600 pages of dull (but I never give up books when I’ve started one).

Now

Read a lot of non-fiction now. But more recently read Willy Vlautin’s The Motel Life and Pynchon’s Inherent Vice.

Guilty Pleasure

Sven Hassel. Read all his novels and could answer questions on Mastermind about them. I even tried to join the Wehrmacht but they didn't have a 27th (Penal) Panzer Regiment.

Pre-teens
Early pre-teens, mostly Enid Blyton, like The Magic Faraway Tree (read at a time when a book containing the names Fanny and Dick failed to raise a giggle) and anything by Dick King Smith – The Hodgeheg, The Sheep Pig, Willie the Swowse… Must have read The Witches by Roald Dahl several times, and A House Inside Out by Penelope Lively was probably my favourite book.

Teens
Adrian Mole, of course.

Late Teens
Dabbled with Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Pierre Boulle’s Planet of the Apes, Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing. Quite liked Nick Hornby... then I discovered Jack Kerouac’s Maggie Cassidy, which was and remains my favourite book ever (recently back in print, hurrah!).

Early 20s
Dave Eggers, Toby Litt. A bit of Susan Sontag.

Now
Evelyn Waugh, AL Kennedy, Anthony Cartwright, Virgina Woolf.

And a book about ladybirds making bikes from blades of grass... I don't remember it's name.

Anything by Roald Dahl.

Then - Enid Blyton Secret Seven then Famous Five, The Magic Faraway Tree and the 'Adventure series.

Got a bit fed up with books after that. So it was either stuff I had to read at school or non fiction stuff. I don't read fiction at all really.
