It is approaching Litha or Midsummer in my part of the world. I’ve worked like a speed demon for the entire year and to be honest I feel absolutely exhausted. I just want to luxuriate and wallow like a blob in tantalising worlds of imagination.
What is better and more full of promise in life than a tsundoku pile? Or as the author Nasim Nicholas Taleb calls it…the ‘anti-library’.
I bought some of these on a recent trip to Japan and others I found in charity shops. I have some icecream close-by, and I can’t wait to rest my weary bones for a while in these worlds of words.
What are you planning on reading over the Christmas holidays folks? I hope it’s really good and I hope you are excited to read them ๐ ๐

I’ve got a couple out of my big huge pile of unread books which are Tim Rogers and Dave Graney’s books after, like I was saying seeing then live but should read some fiction after that. Happy reading! ๐

I love the sound of these books…these guys have had a wild rock n’roll lifestyle and I’m sure they will be full of juicy stories. I hope you enjoy them William and if they are good then let me know I will try and get my hands on them. In terms of rock biographies two I really loved were Scar Tissue by Anthony Keidis and Pleasure and Pain the biography of Chrissie Amphlett. I would love to read more rock bios of female musicians if you have any recommendations.

Tim’s one is called “Detours” and Dave’s one is called “1001 Australian Nights” and if they’re really good, could try maybe might blogged about them, we’ll see?
Oh well, I can say Debbie Harry one called “Face It” is a huge disappointment because I did finally finish it this year but wish never started it, one of the worst auto-bio books I’ve read, like she got nothing to say, the last chapter has a whole bit about thumbs not even her thumbs but just thumbs in general, it kind-of sounds funny typing it out here but it’s not, it’s pretty boring!
Patti Smith’s books are some of the best auto-bios, she’s a lot of them and I’ve not read them all yet but one reco is one called “Just Kids” which is just brilliant, I think they’re making it into a movie tooo! I did love Holly Throsby’s book which aren’t auto-bios but novels, I think she has three now but haven’t read the last couple yet but only read the first one called “Goodwood” but I would highly recommend that one!

These ones by Tim and Dave sound really interesting! Yes blog about them if u want I’ll want to learn more about these. That surprises me that Debbie Harry’s book is so boring…she is such an enigmatic character…she possibly chose the wrong co-author to help her write her story by the sounds of it
