Lemme see... yep, looks like shit.
Now I get to read some required reading on Reggae.
It is shit. Read it in high school. I failed a marking period because of the book.
At least I get to read Shakespeare for Wednesday.

My copy just arrived in the mail yesterday. I have to finish reading "My Cross To Bear" from Greg Allman though before I'm going to start on that. I also got "Waging Heavy Peace" from Neil Young and "Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd."
I don't usually read memoirs but as a Who fan this is different!
I'm planning on getting the audio version too since he reads it himself, and very entertainingly from what I hear.
Also...be prepared to throw your book at the wall a time or two.
agreed. I did want to do that a couple times. Especially on Storm of Swords. I still need to read A Dance With Dragons.
I'm currently awaiting my copy of "Who I Am" to arrive. I am very anxious to read Pete Townshend's memoir
I came very very close to throwing Storm of Swords plain out the window Most amazing book I've ever read, though, when book 6 comes out I'm going to do a complete re-read of the series first. I don't know how you're not diving into ADWD right away...you have amazing willpower!

I have a ton of other books to read right now, and if I hold off on ADWD I know I still have one to read before book 6 does come out. I'm sure I will read it after I finish "My Cross to Bear" and "Who I Am"

I'm reading it slowly. I'm especially enjoying his appreciation of so many types of music and how they influenced his songwriting.
Don't look for a lot of Life on the Road with the 'Orrible 'Oo or Moon the Loon stories. Some of that stuffs there but he tends to be very introspective. Probably more stories on how badly he treated his wife.
Most of the reviews and interviews seem to focus on things that are old news to Who fans (he copied the windmill move from Keith Richards, he smashed his first guitar by accident). I read one review that said it has more details than could interest fans. I doubt it. Who fans want every detail and are disappointed that it was edited down from 1000 pages to 500. :roll:
