    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself

    :lol: 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 :lol: 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"

    FINALLY starting this one. I just finished Shakey by Jimmy McDonough (and was pretty underwhelmed at the end), so I'm excited to get Neil's take on it all.

    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: :lol:
