Right, confession time, I will pop out for one pint in Chorlton and come home with three paperbacks, no regrets! This is every shop that gets a visit whenever I've got twenty minutes between soundchecks and a train. Half the fun is nattering to whoever's behind the counter about what they're reading, honestly tell me what's on your pile right now, I'm always after a recommendation to go with whatever's spinning at the venue that week!
