Is Reading a Book the New Rock 'n' Roll

This is obviously the place to be, Wakefield Library. I remember as a teenager reading all sorts of articles in the NME about bands who got their names and song inspirations from the novels of people with names like J.G. Ballard or discussed the Bauhaus movement at length, none of which I had a clue about then, and sadly still don't.  So let's hope there's a future out there for nerdy, bookish musicians to keep us educated.

He would in 1996. But he's involved with Faber and his radio programme often contain things of a literary bent so I wouldn't criticise him nowadays.
