Nick Hornby

[ali]

i didn't get any cds over the weekend (can't find andrew bird here, but i'll keep looking) but i did pick up a copy of nick hornby's 31 Songs.

i know high fidelity's been mentioned in other topics as a GREAT book, has anyone read his other books?

any love?

i guess while i've started this, what other great books have you read about music?
my two favs would be high fidelity, and an equal music by vikram seth

"Midnight Riders: The Story of the Allman Brothers Band"
-Scott Freeman
a great book!!

"Broken Music: A memoir"  
Sting
more autobiographical and not that much about his music but still very interesting...Sting's a great writer!

"Bob Dylan: Watching The River Flow 1966-1995"
Paul Williams
pretty good book although not as good as I thought it would be.

I like Nick Hornby. I've read About A Boy, High Fidelity & 31Songs.
My fav music book is Cash: The Autobiography.
I also like Peter Guralnick's Last Train To Memphis & Carless Love.
I have a beautiful photography book featuring lots of the original Fat Possum's artists called Darker Blues.

I've only read Hornby's _Long Way Down_, but I really liked it.

For another great music book, try:
_Wheel on Fire_ by Levon Helm
