Question:
I am a little restless at the moment, and therefore altering between three books: Lanark by Alasdair Gray (just started it, and I like it so far), Bob Dylans Chronicles (part 1), and a non-fictous book by a swedish author, about the first generation of english romantic poets, mainly about Coleridge and Wordsworth*.
*Wordsworth in this book, comes across as smug and condescending towards the self critical Coleridge, who in his creepy but excellent marathon poem "the Rime of the Ancient Mariner" IMHO kicks Wordsworths butt big time...
