Default Fleetwood Mac readers?

Hi,

Lately I've been wondering about what books/literature the band members enjoyed back in the days. And also their favorite books in later years.

Perhaps Jeremy Spencer would be willing to share some memories on this subject?

I have found very little mention of books/novels in interviews and other sources, but have managed to make a short list as follows:

- The New Testament/The Bible (Spencer, and at least at some point Green).
- James Allen: As A Man Thinketh (book mentioned by Green).
- Rupert Brooke: Poems (Kirwan, "Dust" lyrics).
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge: The Ancient Mariner (Green, inspiration for "Albatross").
- W. H. Davies: Poems (Kirwan, "Dragonfly" lyrics).
- Certainly most of the music magazines: NME, Melody Maker, Disc and Music Echo etc.

Beat poets and religious texts from the Eastern beliefs (such as The I Ching) are frequently mentioned among musicians. But I have never read that Fleetwood Mac were into that in the early years. Any more thoughts or additions would be highly appreciated.

Daniel
