Reading：

Andrew is sitting in his tiny one-room flat with other people’s rubbish all around him. He is wearing someone else’s clothes and someone else’s shoes. He hardly ever buys new things. Instead, he goes out at night and looks through skips somewhere in the city: his bookshelf, his armchair, the lamps and lampshades, the books, the old records, the paintings and the coat hooks on his walls. He even has a set of playing cards that he made from used phone cards. But he is much better than Jason Mitchell. Jason Mitchell lives in a tent in the park in the middle of a square in London. He sleeps in a sleeping bag. He hasn’t slept in a bed since he was in hospital last year. His dog sleeps with him in a corner of the tent. He used to live in the country, but it’s easier to find food in the city. He finds food in the waster bins in the street, outside restaurants. But when he’s got some money in his pocket, he eats in cheap cafés.
