Books take me away, when my world is made of ugliness. I spent five years reading books to get a degree that features in no way as part of my career. I’ve hoarded books, driven miles and hours just to breathe in that heady earthy aroma of the second hand bookstore. Books have always called to me, found me when I needed them and walked away from me when others needed them. I was high as tits the morning after a wild bush party, staggering around in the bad part of town waiting for a bakery to open so I could get coffee when I found it – a book. During my misguided youth, I took a lot of chances, did a lot of drugs and made a lot of really poor decisions that would have and could have killed a lesser individual, but, being the love child of Emma Bunton and Hunter S Thompson, my poor life choices only made me more epic and served me up with a side of awesome sauce.
