The chapter by Tim Rogers of You Am I (which you can read on that site) shows a side of a band on your you'd never think of.

The book is a bunch of stories by musicians, music industry people, journos, venue operators, promoters, and those types of people. Very interesting read.

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah.

The author was a boy soldier in Sierre Leone. Brilliant but very confronting.

Just completed "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" by Tucker Max.

The text comprises about 2 dozen vignettes about the author drinking to excess, making a complete @rse out of himself, and still managing to shag any female with a pulse.

Sheer, absolute, brilliance. Any bloke with the smallest modicum of male chauvinism in his soul should get a kick out of this book. Highly recommended.

I tried reading that some years ago. Gave up about a third of the way through. BOOOOO-RING. A whole lot of nothing happening.

Have heard that before, but decided to see for myself. Having read Huxley's earlier stuff like Antic Hay and Point Counter Point I reckon I can get past the 'nothing happening' and just enjoy the social commentary.

Excellent pick. It took some effort to get into, and the ending was a bit silly, but an excellent read nonetheless. Lots of detail in the panels, lots of subplot in the text, many themes explored.

I am looking forward to the movie, but I suspect it will not do the (graphic) novel justice.

OK but a bit thin - more like a toilet seat guide! Goes through all his recordings with some semi-authoritative analysis and several mistakes.
