Morrissey's reading habits

[clarebear]

I wonder if all you Moz experts can help me with something, I would love to know what Morrissey reads or has read.
I'm a big reader myself and always wondered what books he loves.
Obviously I have so far guessed at; A taste of honey, the works of Oscar Wilde and most likely anything by Alan Bennett.
Any guesses or theories would be most appreciated!

I don't know who/what is C.3.3

It's either:

1. The chapter in the DSM IV outlining whatever mental malady some person has falsely accused him of at some point in his life.

2. A chapter in a technical manual outlining how to program some sort of software because he's actually a crazy computer programmer in between not eating meat and being eternally sad.

3. It's code to see boobs.

O RLY?

In that case,

C.3.3.

Oscar Wilde was included by Morrissey in a list of favourite writers titled "Old Masters" published in the 16 September 1989 issue of the NME. He actually listed Wilde under his prison number C.3.3.
