Eiríkur, what kind of books do you read and what book did you read last? Have you ever had inspiration to your music from a book?



Oh shit... A worthy question that forces me to give a less worthy answer... I hardly read books anymore. A shame really and as you say, books can give inspiration to both music & lyrics. When I was an active reader, my favourites were Steven King and yucky stuff like that. My all time favourite though is "One Flew Over The Cuckoo´s Nest" by Ken Kesey. A pure masterpiece and the film with Jack Nicholson was actually quite close to being an equal.
Love - Eiríkur
