When and where do you like to read?

Increasingly on planes when I'm free from the terminal distraction of the internet. Other than at, at home with my feet up - the feet must be up and I must have a pencil to hand.
 
What were your favorite books as a child?

I liked the Beatrix Potter books  with all those fun animals like Jeremy Fisher  and Squirrel Nutkin.
 
Do you have any strange writing habits (like standing on your head or writing in the shower)?

No,  just a  desk and chair.
 
What are five words that describe your writing process?

Intermittent, occasional, infrequent, often abandoned.
 
How have libraries impacted your life?

The first books I read as a boy were  in  the local library in Cheltenham where I grew  up. And at school  from the age of 12 we had a record library with all the latest and best prog rock albums.
