I often have a worry about reading in public. and it is not unfounded either. I have been called a pseudo intellectual when caught reading Dawkins 'the God delusion' on the Boat to heysham by a friend of a friend. I was laughed at for enjoying the Harry potter books by many.
Studying technical martial arts manuals was no safer from derision and ridcule even when considering that teaching the martial arts is how i make my living.
I have often wondered if it is less about what im reading and more about the fact that i have time to read in the first place.
And as for Salman Rushdie, im really looking forward to his latest controversial title-Buddha.....the big fat git! (i couldn't resist!)
