Just finished Maus by Art Spiegelman.
Brilliant piece of art.
Left me profoundly disturbed after the first time I binge-read it in about three hours before going to bed. Would not recommend that particular experience.

We’re reading it in school. Most of the class is still on chapter 2 but I read it outside of class because that’s just what I do. Very good book.

He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline Finished the Ringo bio, pretty good, learned quite a few things (I didn’t realize how frequently the songwriters dictated drum parts for him – or how he’d begun to resent it after a few years.
Now begun “The Genius of Michael Jackson” by Steve Knopper.

I enjoyed that one. For some reason the story about his house burning down struck me as very funny.
“A local television station sent its ‘Action News’ van to the scene to interview Ringo, who was identified in a graphic as ‘Ringo Starr , Fire Victim.’ Someone thought it was a good idea to accompany footage of the house aflame with ‘It Don’t Come Easy’ playing in the background. ‘The house went on fire,’ Ringo told a reporter. ‘That’s exactly what happened. That’s all we have to say, look at it! That’s all, guys.’ Comedian Chevy Chase, one of Ringo’s neighbors, can be seen in the footage shaking his head as he walked away from the scene.”

Offline Yeah, I quite enjoyed it, learned some stuff – as with the MJ book, which I finished a couple of days ago.
Now continuing with the rockstar bios: Tony Fletcher’s [Keith] “Moon: The Life and Death of a Rock Legend”. This one’s substantially longer than the previous two.
