 Discuss books and movies centered around the Manics. Examples include Forever Delayed: The Greatest Hits and Everything by Simon Price. |

Everything is so absolutely fantastic. I adore Simon Price, he's got to have the best insight into the band. My copy is being lent to my friend right now who's probably going to have a spiralling obsession in the near future  Has anyone read 'Richard' by Ben Myers? (oooh, contraversial.) I did, and hated it. Not because of the subject, I tried to see it objectively but it just trivialises everything Richey ever said by writing him in an unbearably pretentious manner. Has anyone else here read it? I'd be interested to hear alternative takes on it- I just can't bear his style of writing. |

I keep hearing how good Everything is, I really need to track down a copy!
Haven't read Richard yet, from what I've seen the reviews have been rather mixed. He tried to write some of it like a fiction story right? I don't see how he could do that without offending a lot of the Manics fans.
