Location: Cherry Hill, NJ | I had read, Bob Spiz's biography of the Beatles last year. It was one of a few books I've read about the Beatles through the years, and by far the best. It really gives a great insight to the Beatles music making abilities.
I've just finished E.C.Eric Clapton's autobiography. It read like a diary, lots of personal stuff. Drugs and booze really had the best of him for quite awhile. I was kinda expecting more about his thoughts on the music and guitars. Anyone read it yet? |

(because I enjoy the fellas I call 'the Florida writers.' Crime novels by the literary offspring of Dutch Leonard and John D. MacDonald.)
The Intellectual Devotional
(because I have illusions of competence.)
An Illustrate Short History of Progress - Ronald Wright
(So I can speak in an informed and withering manner
with my limp-wristed liberal friends.)
I'm probably reading something work related too.
But it's Friday and I can't remember what is is
'till Monday night. |

Location: SoCal | Between my birthday and Xmas (week apart), I got 5 books and am thru 4 and working on the 5th. First was E.C.'s autobiography. Fairly interesting to read his own feelings about himself after reading what other people have to say about in other sources.
Then I read Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass. A detective novel dealing with a caretaker scaming an old man to take over his finances. It was interesting because I've worked on a number of cases like this one.
The third book was Steve Martin's autobiography dealing with his days of stand up comedy. Pretty interesting.
Number 4 was a book dealing with the history of the tv show, The Rockford Files. A fun read.
Now I'm reading Ann Coulter's book, If Democrats Had Brains They'd be Republicans. Satire at it's best.
Oh, and off to the side, I'm going thru (for the upteenth time, Robert Heinlein's To Sail Beyond The Sunset, which was his last novel..... |
