Not sure if anyone here is a fan but Will Self is doing a reading in Eason's (Nassau Street) on Thursday January 22nd to talk about his new book Dorian (his take on Oscar Wilde's book) Anyone read anything? I read 'How the Dead Live' and really liked it...

I have "Great Apes" lying around the flat, I bought it based on a recommendation, but I wasnt too enthused by the first few chapters so it got put aside, I found his characters and their environment unappealing. Sort of an english Bret Easton Ellis atmosphere (another author who I think is overrated, Less than Zero and American Psycho were good but his other stuff is quite boring imo.)
I might have another stab at it after christmas, funds will invariably be low so i envisage a lot of nights in.
