I'm just struggling to read the book. It's like having a hyperactive person bouncing around on a space hopper in my head. Completely exhausting with another 550 pages to go.

I’m sure he has written good books, but I don’t like the ones filled with hate. I felt soiled by them.

Which is why my particular cultural hate is Martin Amis, particularly London Fields and Lionel Asbo which I hate with passion.
