I think I will have to pick up a copy of that next actually. Cheers. I think tomorrow I will go to the bookshop and see what they have and choose a book of short stories at random aswell. That has served me relatively well so far with the poetry and having those to dip into alongside it...

So I own and have read all the novels multiple times, except Pulp that is. For some reason (well, I suppose for obvious reasons) I have never felt compelled to read it. I have also only read one collection of short stories and that was long, long ago. So basically my question is simple...
