A short book (150 pages) but quite enough to get the idea...

22 of the greatest books about rock'n'roll ever written
By Classic Rock 16 hours ago

In search of some quality reading material? Look no further than our guide to some of the best ever rock’n’roll books



You’re heading off on holiday and you want something to read that will absorb and entertain you. You love your rock, but don’t want to read some shit that a pissed idiot in an AC/DC T-shirt (who was mates with one of the band’s ex-girlfriend’s uncles) could’ve written.

So what do you turn to? Here’s the thing: a lot of good books about rock have been written, from autobiographies to era studies, lyrics compendiums and beyond. We’ve crunched the best of them into this prize selection, including popular classics and newer and/or lesser-known gems.

I fuckin' love that book!
Particularly the chapter called "Water" and his opening paragraphs of arriving at the mouse-occupied trailer home which would be his living space for his time as a park ranger in the middle of nowhere. Excerpts of this book I've recorded myself reading aloud just for the fuck of it. There is also another lengthy story about a guy who gets swindled into digging for gold that actually doesn't exist.



Torture, LSD, vivisection, living amputation, bacteria, testing on unwitting human subjects, irrevocable mental damage, cover-ups, truth serums, mustard gas, poison darts, James Bond kind of weaponry. That's just the first two chapters.

EA is fantastic, and Desert Solitaire is one of his very best. Somehow not as many people know about him as you might think. His popularity seems to be very regional, in the southwest many bookstores have an EA section. I haven't seen that in other places in the country.

Recently finished John Cleese's "So Anyway...", a quite interesting autobiography that is also excessively funny (who knew?). Takes the reader right up to the first Monty Python episode and a final chapter in tribute to Graham Chapman. Very touching in places, which surprised me since the other Pythons paint him as a bit of an ass, but in the most affectionate way. Sometimes. Don't think there's a lot of love lost between him and Terry Gilliam, though. Excellent read, for sure.

Got mine yesterday. It’s a beautiful book but unfortunately it arrived with some water damage. Since I had to order it from Amazon UK and it took quite a while for it to get here in the first place I’m just going to bite my lip and move on. Oh, well.
