What Book Are You Currently Reading ?
I am just finishing up "How Music Works" by David Byrne. (yes he of Talking Heads). A hugely ambitious effort, but the guy manages to be very succinct and lucid, using his own experiences and theories to posit very interesting ideas on How Music works, Performance. Collaboration, Technology, Business, How to make a Scene etc. I have a very extensive Music literature library (Theory/practice,Artist Biographies,Scenes,Technology etc) and have read much about the subject but have still really enjoyed reading another viewpoint and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Great Book. A lot of people don't rate it but I enjoyed it and every boxing Library should have a copy.

I can't remember the last time I read a book, probably 20 years ago. These days, I might read an article in a magazine at at the dentist's office, but almost all of the reading I do is online. For me the internet is like a gigantic library. I also get a vast amount of information from the threads Miles starts on this forum. I recently enjoyed "how often do you post drunk", it was very informative. :rolleyes:
I believe the last book I read was the History of the World parts I & II, by H.G. Wells, great read.

I am reading a comic book about Captain America who wants to go back into time in 40’’s and be with his friends and family. He cannot adjust to modern life. He then realises that in his time period it was not all it was cracked up to be and that things had moved on for the better.
