I started reading Long Road, and it is pretty good so far! It is amazing to see all these new Pearl Jam books coming out in the last few years! What is your favorite Pearl Jam book?

Mine so far is “All Encompassing Trip” it was a great read about the tour life, the stories, and the experiences. Phenomenal read! Side note: Whatever happened to Jason L? Does he still go to shows? Just curious if he is still an active fan! I loved his passion for the band!

    I know it’s a boring and obvious choice, but PJ20 is amazing for how encompassing it is. I couldn’t get enough of all of the random tidbits and stories.

    @RiotZact I am with you! I wish PJ20 was one of the books on Audible. There would have to be someone cool to narrate it though. Not sure any of the band members would do it but maybe someone with a great voice!

    I saw this thread title and was going to ask about that book. It's good? I've yet to read it but keep meaning to get a copy of it  - along with Hyden's new book!

    I’ve got to agree on All Encompassing Trip - I love the story element, rather than just facts and opinions about the band. I also recall seeing that van at a number of stops on the 05 Canadian tour, and chatting with some of the participants.

    I like PJ20 in a different vein, as well as the Ames poster collection book.  

    Admittedly I’ve not read some of the others, but to me those are my favs.

    Brad Klausen & Ames Bros needs a new book release for 2023.

    Klausen hinted at it in the last State of Love Podcast! Would be awesome to see all the new posters he has done for the band in a book format!
