Do you read?

I guess no one else reads?
I do…though I try to avoid non-fiction if I can.

So…what are ye currently reading??? (Hint hint)
sorry - I was outside watching the contrails over my house.

I bought this a few months ago, but just got around to it:

It's basically an account of the making of that Rise Above CD and the tour that followed. Kind of like Get In The Van , but 20 years later.
Finally, a book we can all use:

This book is a lot more academic than it appears. Contributions include "White Trash Alchemies of the Abject Sublime: Country as 'Bad' Music", "The Flight from Banality", "A Moment Like This: American Idol and Narratives of Meritocracy", "Extreme Noise Terror: Punk Rock and the Aesthetics of Badness", and (potentially the richest) "Much Too Loud and Not Loud Enough: Issues Involving the Reception of Staged Rock Musicals."
Let's see…lately I've read:

reading is a wonderful relaxant to life's middle problems in that road called reality. but be careful on forks of folks, before the public enemy terror squad comes calling this way, since they smell no hints of the musical genre in these posts.

His diary-type books are all great. "Get in the Van" is one of my favorite books ever. "Smile, You're Travelling" and "Do I Come Here Often?" are also excellent. He's just an interesting person, for whatever reason. However, I can't stand his poetry stuff. Christ, its horrible, actually.
Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe

By Laurence Bergreen

Awesome book. I'm a history teacher. Naturally Im reading history. For whatever reason, I can't stand fiction.
Teamates…by David Halberstam
