    I'm still reading Jim Bouton's funny as hell Ball Four.  It's a great book but the revised edition is 450 pages of small print and after awhile my eyes start watering and I have to stop reading.  This one will take a while--- but worth it!

    Not very far into it, but fascinating read so far.

    Finally read The Beastie Boys Book (great!) and Hammer of The God's (ok but should not be read after The Beastie Boys Book)

    Just read this, this weekend.  Enjoyed it

    Flea’s book was great! I never read this one. I don’t really care about lead singers. Don’t we hear enough of their shit?

    depends on the lead singer i suppose. i knew basically nothing about AK prior to reading this book. i doubt i'd need a book about vince neil or axl rose, however, but his was great. 

    i also read flea's. it was pretty good, if you want to read about a musician's completely normal life prior to being in a band.

    ordered the chris cornell Total F*cking Godhead and it comes tomorrow. Vicky actually endorsed it on instagram, while admitting it isn't an officially authorized biography. hope it's good.

    That is exactly what I like to read. It's one reason why Patti Smith's books are so compelling to me.

    I just figured Anthony's book would be a catalog of sexual conquests, beginning at, (what?) like, age 7.

    i also like it, but to be honest, flea's pre-musician life wasn't all that compelling. it was a completely normal divorced family who moved around a bit story. it was honestly only interesting to me because i obviously knew who he was. beyond that, it was kind of just....normal.
