I prefer autobiographies. anthony kiedis' and motley crue's dirt top my list.
i read david lee roth's recently but it wasn't nearly as exciting as i thought it would be, though i did finish it, which i don't usually when the writing isn't great. never finished johnny rotten's. henry rollins' "get on the bus" sucked so bad i didn't make it past page 60. 60 pages of no sex or drugs but a lot of whining. ugh. on the regular biographies, zeppelin's book wasn't nearly as well written as i thought it would be. again, finished it but it was only ok. marilyn manson's book was extremely well written, but parts of it made me feel so dirty i needed a bath. it's every bit as disturbing as you would think it would be. |

I've been reading American Hardcore, which (if you're into hardcore) is pretty cool. Otherwise it'd probably be pretty exhausting.

it is only visually exhausting, image after image there is not a huge amount of text in that book. but it is a kind of enjoyable read |

Have any of you read Fahey's How Bluegrass Music Destroyed My Life?
Is it any good? |

Off the top of my head-
Rip It Up and Start Again, SImon Reynold's take on post-punk is an interesting read. England's Dreaming, Jon Savage - essential reading. The House that Trane Built, the history of Impulse Records, Ashley Khan. Not a great fan of his wrting style but he manages to unearth lots of interesting facts and stories (he has also written books on the recordings of Jazz at Massey Hall and Kind of Blue). The Peel autobiography was a joy to read - it just brought back lots of memories. I remember Tape Delay by Charles Neal about 80's underground music was an essential read at the time. We Owe You Nothing a collection of interviews from Punk Planet magazine (?) I remember had some interesting stuff. Two favourites are Charles Mingus' autobiography/story Beneath the Underdog - a classic, and Val Wilmer's As Serious as Your Life, her recollection of the free jazz/fire music scene in the late 60's. |

But you have the advantage of being able to read German! English language copies are as rare as the proverbial hens' teeth. |

I think "J Roslie" aka "Gulasch Noir" found an english online version somewhere. But that was on the old board. |

I think it's out of print again maybe. Amazon doesn't have a copy that's cheaper than £28. |
