I...I've always been a reader, but thereafter:-<br /><br />I find museums over-rated.<br /><br />I long ago stopped going to concerts, having decided that the only music that gains from being 'live' is Opera and Jazz.<br /><br />I spent every Sunday afternoon one winter, when I was seventeen, going to a film club to see superior European films. All I can remember is that I enjoyed one called Bicycle Thieves.<br /><br />I do enjoy theatre. I still remember an Othello I saw when I was about sixteen, ditto a She Stoops To Conquer at about fifteen. But then I'd liked panto when I was little.<br /><br />There was a spell when we lived in Edinburgh when we went to poetry readings. That was tremendous fun - maybe we were lucky in the generation doing the reading.<br /><br />Some art, in the sense of paintings, I find very pleasurable. I know nothing about it, but it delights me. A few sculptures too.<br /><br />I know I loathe ballet, though strangely the only two I've witnessed were a great pleasure.
