I'm with UB on this, we are social animals, and understanding how another person views things can lead to you having a better understanding of yourself, plus it doesn't matter how much you read on wikipedia, you still won't know as much as a guy that specialises on the topic.
I barely read books, which sucks, cause I know a little about a lot.
Oh and Sittinondubs, if you enjoyed No Angels you might like this, wrote by a guy before he joined the Angels, and what shaped him into it, he's just finished writing his sequel of his 35 years in, if you (or anyone) wants a copy, pm.
