Picked this up on a whim 10 years ago and couldn‘t get into it. Trying it again. Used to be a big Leonard fan but this is all just eh.

Get out of my head, Hornby. Get out of my head.

blurb

More than a travelogue, not quite an autobiography. There‘s a really great blend of insights into the author‘s life, songwriting, and what it takes to make a touring band work. There‘s the requisite amount of name drops without getting tired like other musician memoirs I‘ve read. This moment in the photo is one of my favorites and it was worth reading the whole thing just to get to it.

So far a decent travelogue. It‘s nice to read more about some of the characters from his songs.

I hit a brick wall with every other book I was reading. I‘m flying through this gem to build momentum. This is a “fun” read for me.

Little Brother | Cory Doctorow
post image
Pickpick

Set in 2008, there is nothing that happens in this book that doesn't sound like it could happen today or at any point in the near future. There's no reason to believe that anything in this story couldn't have happened in the last 16 years following the events of September 11. I suppose that's what makes it great fiction. I just recommend not letting it be the last thing you read before bed.

Much much darker than the "batgirl of burnside" run. I might be reading these out of order.

This book is sort of my #marketing bible. I just stumbled across some notes I made in 2011 when I first read the book. This particular issue is exemplary at my current gig. #webdesign
