Book lover: Gareth Farr

Gareth Farr is a composer and entertainer.

The book I love most is ... The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe by C S Lewis. I actually tried to walk into my closet when I was 7 to see if it would happen.

The book I'm reading right now is ... The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike. Hmmm, a theme seems to be developing here - coincidental, I assure you. It just happened to be the first one on the bookshelf that caught my eye last week.

The book I'd like to read next is ... a book that tells you how to be fabulously creative, and fabulously rich, without selling your soul in the process. Please tell me where that book is.

The book that changed me is ... Mummy Do Monsters Clean Their Teeth? My mum Jan Farr wrote this gorgeous kids book in 1975 and there was a picture of me and my family on the back - ever since then, I've been suffering from the delusion that I'm famous.

The book I wish I'd never read is ... American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. Amazing writing, amazing social commentary, but just too many brutal images.
