Ex drummer/keyboardist with The Cure, detailing his rise with the band, fall through substance abuse and subsequent redemption.
Always got a number of books on the go, not always for leisure unfortunately.
What I'm reading by choice is a Marvel Comics History book - I love these things, big coffee-table type publications, full colour. A couple of Yorkshire Ripper books, I have a whole pile of Michael Connelly books to get through ('Bosch' is a great character) and just arrived, The Deaths and Afterlife of Aleister Crowley by Ian Thornton, good bloke and LU fan
I've got far too many books on the go. The other half likes looking for charity shop bargains so I end up rooted by the books. And they're what I get for birthdays and Christmas.
So far I'm half-way through:
Redemption Song: The Definitive Biography Of Joe Strummer by Chris Salewicz - I feel Mellor would approve. I hope he's well, his input on here is missed.
Isle of Noise (Interviews with British songwriters) by Daniel Rachel - a dip-in book that's been on the go since Christmas.
Even Dogs In The Wild by Ian Rankin - I've got 2 more Rankin books lined up and that should see me to the end of John Rebus which probably explains my reticence to rush through them.
The Stories of English by David Crystal - a study of the development of the English language
Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson - a book I've been meaning to read for ages.
And there are more. Not so much half way through, more a chapter or so in that I've had to put down to due to the onerous business of work and then been sidetracked by another book. I need a few weeks off to knuckle down and read them all.
