I would recommend a lot of Nietzsche as an influence on some of the above stuff as well - especially On The Genealogy of Morals (mainly Part 3). It's profoundly Manics.

I can imagine that they've read Orwell, 1984 is like the Holy Bible (no pun intended) for people with an interest in politics.

Nicky talks about a Jon Savage book called Teenage in one of the blog posts on the official site. Seems interesting.
And for all those who think that Camus, Kafka, Orwell, Kerouac etc are predictable teenage books, well, they're classics, and there's a reason for that. They say something to people that is obvioulsy important and worth reading.

I recently spent several weeks comparing all the articles I've had on my site with the actual, printed versions of them. There were lots of mistakes, some that were more than just typos. (I fixed the mistakes, of course.) And it seems that a lot of the articles I had to fix were originally on the tmtm.com site. See, I originally did with the books list, and the articles, what other webmasters did. We just copied and pasted things from each other, without checking them. I had good excuses for doing that for the first two years of my site - I didn't have many of the actual articles, or a computer. (I was using the computers at the public library, so I didn't have a whole lot of time to do anything.) But, now I have a lot more of the actual articles, and my own computer, so I've been taking the time over the last few years, to check and correct what's on my site - the articles and the list of Richey's favourite books. (There's still some articles I can't check, though, btw.)

And I got Carol Ann Duffy down as a poet he likes (yep i take notes) and also Barry McSweeney's poetry collection 'Book of Demons' - inspired by Blake and McSweeney's battle with alcoholism which killed him a few years ago (sounds a Nicky poet then  ) - I haven't read any Barry but I've read some of Carol Ann Duffy and likedHorror wise I dunno about Nicky but I really love Shirley Jackson's novels and short stories and there's one by Robert Marasco called 'Burnt Offerings' now though long out of print but worth a search, and Haunted by James Herbert, and Daphne du Maurier's short stories of the macabre. And Misery by Stephen King. Oh and Lost Girls by Andrew Pyper - loved that. A couple of new books just out which aren't horror but are kinda the horror behind the normal everyday ... kindathingcategory ... are Rupert Thomson's Death of a Murderer - his fictional take on the policeman left to guard the body of Myra Hindley overnight and just how thin the line is that separates us from the 'monster'. And The Dead of Summer by Camilla Way - children and their secrets, by the end of the summer 3 of the children are dead, how they die and why is related through the eyes of 13 year old Anita. It's clever and dark and brilliant. You also cannot go wrong with anything by Lesley Glaister. I'll shut up now before I have to change my name to Nicky Wire

Sorry if it's there somewhere and I've missed it but I just thought I should mention that Novel With Cocaine thing that Richey was apparently into in a big way towards "the end".
I've been keeping an eye out for it in second-hand bookshops for years but have never found a copy. Anyone read it or know anything about it?

by M. Ageyev a pseudynm for a man who 'disappeared' without a trace. It's along Richey's usual themes ... dark, drug addiction fuelled and metaphorical 'for the violent purification of the Bolshevik upheaval' and translated from Russian ... though it's fairly short and y'can follow it
Did Richey himself ever mention this book or was it one that cropped up in an article and became part of the mythology? I can't remember where I first read of it, it was in the days/weeks after he vanished ... I do remember the day after I heard of it I found a copy, I was thinking why it is a sign ... I've been receiving these 'signs' in every second hand bookshop I been in since (you're going into the wrong shops Mr Inconspicuous)
