My media: Trezza Azzopardi


Newspapers: I read the Guardian. I'll buy the Times most days but especially on Saturdays and Sundays, and the Observer. I don't like the Daily Mail.

Magazines: I'll read anything with an exclamation mark: Hello!, OK!, Now!, I love it when they have 15 pictures all the same just enlarged slightly. If I'm going on a train I might buy Marie Claire, but I'd rather have a Private Eye.

Books: I'm reading the Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I've also just finished a proof copy of a book by Lavinia Greenlaw called Mary George of Allnorthover. It's coming out next year and it's very interesting. I'm also going back to Martin Amis's Experience. I finished that about two months ago but there are bits that really make me laugh.

Film: The last film I saw was High Fidelity which was quite good, except it was more like Low Fidelity in our cinema because it was difficult to hear. I have two favourite films: Now, Voyager, a fantastic black and white film where Bette Davis wears wonderful dresses. And a film called Random Harvest which is the same sort of genre - a black and white weepie.

Television: I'm very keen on Black Books [C4]. I caught the first one and thought it was fantastic. And I love The Royle Family [BBC1]. University Challenge [BBC2] is always good for a laugh. I'll watch anything except for darts, really.

Radio: I listen to Radio 2 in the mornings. Sarah Kennedy is a scream. Then it's Radio 4 for the rest of the day. I like having the people talking in the background when I'm having a break from writing.

Ads: I can't think of any I like particularly. That Budweiser one annoys me. It's just gone on too long.

Multimedia: I'm a big fan of the internet. I like all the news sites and there's a site called eyestorm which is great. It's like walking into a cool art gallery where people sneer at you but it's a beautiful site.

 Trezza Azzopardi's novel, The Hiding Place (Picador), has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize and longlisted for the Guardian First Book Prize.
