Literary events – readers’ days, library talks, writers’ panels and such – are usually a grand day out. They’re a chance to meet the people who buy your books, to hear feedback, maybe compare notes with other authors, to get out from your lonely office and socialize with real people rather than the imaginary ones in your head.

Publishing is a funny old game. And, as I reflected upon gazing lovingly at the spines on my bookshelf this morning, Picador is a funny old name.

What do we all think about the re-reading of books? I used to do a lot of it 10-15 years ago and now I do none.
