For those of you who still like to read a real book, I was lucky enough to get a few for my birthday Saturday.. And if I maybe so bold can I hugely recommend the following: Rock n Roll Gentleman, Lee Brilleaux. By Zoe Howe, an excellent read, a great singer/frontman, if you're a fan of Dr.Feelgood and old school London/Essex RnB get yourself a copy.. Also:'Anger is an energy' by John Lydon.. Very funny and poignant .. London life in the late 60's to today..both books are a joy to read..10/10.. ( also very good: 'life in 1950's London by Mike Hutton, for those who like a bit of honest funny nostalgia). |  | | |  |

Ozzy's 'Autobiography' written with that author made me cry with laughter 4 times. |
Have you read the autobiography of Dave Mustaine (Mr Megadeth for those who aren't familiar with this particular artiste), Metallica? I haven't but I believe it was a best seller in the US.

I really enjoyed Shaun Ryders book. That was a real eye opener.
If you are a fan of Joy Division, Ian Curtis's wife Debbie wrote a book 'Touching from a distance' that gives an insight to Ian. |  | | |

Agreed. The opening paragraph about what his dad tells him when he was a boy was brilliant.
A very good read I can recommend is Hellbent for Leather, confessions of a heavy metal addict, by Seb Hunter. |
I'll check that out thanks. |  |

No but my mate who knows him has and said it was good.

Just reading 'The Big Midweek' by The Falls ex-Bassist Steve Hanley.
Now working as a School Caretaker playing occasionally with Brix Smith (also ex-Fall member
and ex-wife of Fall frontman and profession loon Mark E. Smith).
Also Marilyn Mansons autobiography. I really didn't know too much about him, but a very, amusing
and erudite chap. |  | | |

agree with all the punk books so far Passion by the Clash, Dury, Lydon.
Also and it almost shames me to say I actually enjoyed reading Rod Stewarts book.

I have Rods book too. I'm not a fan, liking only his early output with Jeff Beck and The Faces. After that forget him or at least his music. However he always and still does come across as an entertaining fellow when telling stories of his life and I thought his book was quite a laugh. At least he's up front and honest. |  |
