Oh Nicky please please please write a biography and restore order to the cosmos.
I swore up and down that I wouldn't read that Ben Myers novel, but the Kindle edition was going for pennies on Amazon a few months ago. I couldn't resist. It really bothered me that "Richey" nicked off with that old guy's stick at the end. But yeah, pretend it's not about Richey and it could be quite an entertaining read.

I haven't bothered with A Version of Reason. Right from the off, it looked like it would be a GCSE project and I think the guy's a professional biographer. That made it feel that the book was just another job for him. Although others have said he did try to retrace Richey's footsteps.
