I was really astonished by what a good piece of writing Dylan's "Chronicles" was. I am bemused that some people are bored by it, but, I guess it's a matter of taste. For those people, I guess I might recommend the book about Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith) or David Bowie. Lotsa sex, partying, and hell-raising! Far less "boring"... :-)
(I didn't read those ones yet. Partying bores me.)
The best book I have read recently was "The Disappearance of the Universe". I figure there might be about 1 in 100 of you who would be interested in it, so let's just leave it at that...
