If they don't share your views and they're not interested in a conversation, they're usually pretty polite about it.
I've had a few, like, naked people and weird things.
Look, because you're going into someone's house, you sort of don't know what you're going to get.
I've done a lot of door knocking, but you do get some funny.
You have to go to the pub afterwards and have a beer and a bit of a debrief.
No, I've had like just semi-nudity answering the door and you're kind of just like, whoa, hey, it's okay, thanks, bye.
Why would you answer the door?
Why would you answer the door?
I'd just give them a fridge magnet and run, pretty much.
Oh, yeah, I'll think about it.
Hello, welcome to A Good Read, where we talk about some books we love.
And with me today are two top crime writers.
Louise Welsh is the author of 10 novels, among them The Cutting Room, The Second Cut, and most recently, The Cut Up.
She's also a professor of creative writing at the University of Glasgow.
Chris Brookmeyer began his career with Quite Ugly One Morning, later adapted for TV with James Nesbitt, while his many novels since include Black Widow, The Cracked Mirror and, just out, Quite Ugly One Evening.
Chris, would you start us off?
Well, Louise Welsh, Ian Banks' Espadaire Street.
less real almost that was like almost like a dream and contemporary 1980s set material was immediate but that's when he's living the regret I hadn't I hadn't read Espadere Street before and it took me three or four pages to get into it I think because you're bombarded with these names to begin with you get a whole list of names including you know Danny our hero about four pseudonyms under which he's operated at various times
But once I got past that, I really enjoyed it.
What I liked about it, I understand what you're saying about the regret and so on, but there was so much fun in it as well.
