Fay Weldon and Sarah Dunant Discuss Why Women read?

Interesting interview from BBC, funnily enough my comedic befuddled characters fair better than the independent "Harry" in "Fighting Love." No criticism there, but a stimulating subject which got me thinking on this rainy day. Ok my books aren't high literature and difficult to draw direct comparisons, but us girls do love a social aspect and that's just women's natures. Might be funny to develop Maggot and Piers, the self serving, slightly wicked characters.
More fun with comedy though don't you think?
