Most well-known authors seem to have got married life unbelievably wrong; they could write about it, but couldn’t do it. Joyce and Woolf ​​might be ​absolute ​titan​s​, but I don’t ​really ​want to read themThe book that changed my mindJames Joyce’s Ulysses, which I found almost intolerable to read. I read Ulysses and understood the significance of Joyce – but I just couldn’t get it and I realised I didn’t need to. The book I’d most like to be remembered forI don’t think there is one particular book. I remember reading The Secret Garden and Five Children and It, which I thought was really funny – I still do.
