Alan Bennett is a horrible whiny Northern woofter.
My mother likes him which is always a bad sign.

His voice alone makes me want to hit people.

He's not in it, you'll be glad to hear

I rather like his books
But I don't want to hear them read aloud by Patricia Routledge or whoever.

'Talking Heads'?
I thought that was wonderful. The only thing they made me read for my English A-Level that I really took too. Even when 'A Woman Of No Importance" was read by Thora Hird, who for some reason always freaked me out when I was young.

I really, really fucking hated those 'Talking Heads' things.
A load of bent shit. Bit like Talking Heads.

And so dreary and Northern.
Absolutely nothing of interest whatsoever for me.

Funny, without the 'Northern' bit that may apply elsewhere you miserable old sod...

I've got Alice Through The Looking Glass read by Alan Bennett.
I played it for my niece and she hated it.

You have the taste of a 6 year old, sir.

That's one of my favourite books
And I can imagine Bennet doing it really well.
