    the many lives of tom waits - patrick humphries.

    ok so i finished this the other day and it has got to be one of the best musician bios ive ever read. patrick humphries is an excellent writer. anyone with a passing interest in tom waits or if you just like reading about musicians in general you could do a whole lot worse than this book.

    Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life by Steve Almond

    One of the most hilarious books I have ever read about obsessive music fans, or as he calls us, drooling fanatics. Can't recommend this book enough.

    I was really disappointed by this.

    I'm reading "The Collector" by John Fowles.

    Reading two at the moment

    Neil Peart's Ghost Rider,Travels on the Healing Road ... amazing

    and a odd book I found in my mums that intrigued me called The Red Tent ... a biblical tale of love ... enjoying it even although I have never read a book like it before

    Everything I've heard about "The Red Tent" has been really good. My wife read it but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

    I would definitely recommend it ... it is a very good book ... I have just never read a biblical story before ... If you do read it I hope you enjoy it

    Ghost Rider was awesome. Check out his other books too if you get a chance.

    I read all his other novels, but failed to find any interest in Lunar Park. Did you like it?
