I really enjoyed that one! (I'm a big Stephen King fan).
I'm Reading "Superman: The Complete History".
Excellent.
I read considerably less than that, 1 book/week is my average.
I usually dislike biographies but the fairly recent biography of Chief Joseph of the Nez Pierce tribe in America is a fantastic read. That dude was mostly the guy who took care of the horses and the old people, just like me really. It was his brother Allouet sp? who was the badass warrior and together they out smarted the US military several times before deciding not to resist anymore.
Reading The Last Stormlord by Glenda Larke right now. This trilogy was sent to us by an English professor at Oxford who rode horses with us recently. It reminds me of Dune somewhat but is very good. peace
the Chief Joseph sounds like one I'll want to read. Naturalust, have you read "Empire Of the Summer Moon"
about the Comanches, and Quanah Parker?
Not yet, the cover kinda scared me off. Worthwhile? The Chief Joseph bio is published by University of Nebraska press if I remember correctly. peace
very worthwhile, well researched thoroughly engaging book. interesting how next to none of this history is taught in schools..
Talk about your favorite band.

Reading Nick Kent's autobio "Apathy For The Devil". Interesting, but it just reinforces how disposable I think so much of the music he wrote so passionately about in the 70s and 80s was, particularly glam rock. Seemed so important at the time. The guy almost became yet another fatal casualty of trying to orbit too close to the sun of Keith Richards.

The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson.
So far so good. It's about the great migration of black people from the racist Southern USA to the Western USA in the 1930's and 1940's mostly. peace

Nobody's Perfect by Anthony Lane.
That man knows his movies.
I am thinking of buying Such Sweet Thunder by Benny Green, which is a collection of his writings on jazz.

I am currently reading both Dave Grohl's 'This Is A Call' and 'Playing With Fire', the book about ex-hockey player Theoren Fleury. Both are great. Before that it was 'Fall of Giants' by Ken Follet. Entertaining. Before that, 'Tough Guy' - the Bob Probert story. Another hockey read. That was a good read. The guy was outta control. Before that, the Steven Tyler one. Ok, I'not a huge fan of Tyler's 'prose,' but I grew up in the 70s listening to old Aerosmith records. Before that, the Keith book, 'Life'. Absolutely loved that.

"Leonard Cohen - a tolerated biography". Funny that people in Greece greeted eachother when meeting on the streets with "First We Take Manhattan" - and then the other guy said "Then We take Berlin".
Haven't readen music biographies in ages. I read 0,5 - 1,0 book a day - but I stay clear off biographies. But the LC book was really worth time. Recommended.

Right now, "The End" by Ian Kershaw, about the last days of the Third Reich and how it managed to continue functioning (brutally) right up until, well, you know...not exactly Summer beach reading, but Kershaw is one of the best historians on this topic, and his two-volume Hitler biography is the gold standard.
