Have you read his 'Literally' and 'Vs. America' books (or even Robbie's 'Feel'?) and what did you think of them? Is it time for another?

Both "Literally" and "PSB vs. America" are great books. I haven't read either one in a while, but, if I remember correctly, a recurring theme in "PSB vs. America" is Neil and Chris worrying that they'll never have a big hit single again. Also, they're disappointed w/ the chart placing of "Where the streets...". Oh, and Shep Pettibone asking them if they'll record a song like "West End Girls" again; Neil says they're working on one right now - "DJ Culture"!
Apparently, Chris Heath wrote a book about the Discovery tour, but Neil doubts it'll ever see the light of day 'cause it's too embarrassing.

I have read all three and love them all. Actually, I think "Feel" is his best book.
However much I'd like another PSB book, I'm not sure there would be much point to it.

That's like saying there'd be no point doing a sequel to The Bible.

I have always been rather intrigued by this. Jesus, what must they (or just Chris...) have been up to for it to effect the whole book?

It´d be great to see the Discovery book. The more embarrasing, the better.

Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention?
Personally, I've lived a quiet life, a stranger to champagne ....

I read Literally some weeks ago and discovered that Chris didn´t know what period was until Neil told him.
Maybe that tells that Chris never had a girlfriend.

That highly likely.

I think you have got the wrong end of the stick. In that section of Literally, they are recalling looking up "dirty" words in dictionaries as children. When Neil says "you didn't know what it meant" (or whatever the quote is), he is talking about himself as a boy.
