I could do with something to read. Got a few sitting here but can’t get into any of them so I need something I wouldn’t normally pick (tend to gravitate towards music biographies)

I’ve enjoyed the books of Nick Hornby and Douglas Coupland and I tend to gravitate towards American fiction.

Got great reviews on radio 2 book club a few months ago.

I am tempted by this http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/books/bicycle_diaries/

Just read The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan which is a manifesto for rational thinkers and a bloody good read.

Or american fiction cant be topped by anything Elmore Leonard ever wrote, crackling dialogue, clever plots, he is the best.

As you do so much gravitating..

Bit of J.G. Ballard perhaps? Cocaine Nights would be a good start.

I’m revisiting Jeeves and Wooster at the moment, which are light but very funny and well written.

As well as David Byrne’s Bicycle Diaries, which is very good, BTW, how about his other book, How Music Works.

CZ I have the music one waiting on my shelf. Looking forward to reading it.
