Meat Puppets - Too High to Die

I love an oul oral history and this one is pretty great. Also a nice look at the independent scene and SST etc in general in that era. A nice easy, fast read. Plus it'll take you on a trip through their surprisingly excellent discography.

Got Bob Mould's autobiography lined up, plus Rip It Up, a history of post-punk as well, (not to mention the two Peter Hook books I need to get into as well, gah!).

If We Burn - Vincent Bevins

Looks at the vast protests in the 2010's (Arab Spring, Turkey, Ukraine, Sao Palo), how they came about, how they fell apart and how it was co-opted by right wingers across the globe. A through and eye-opening read at times although the author seems surprised at how conservatives could also use social media to get their message across.

Started into The Holotropic Mind last night. Heavy stuff. I feel like it could be described as trip thoughts, but properly elucidated. Looking forward to reading what more is in there because I'm only about 60 pages in and my poor little mind was expanded to bits

The Goldfinch by Donna Tarrt. So far so good

Good book. I read it years back.

I finished The Wolves of Eternity by Karl Ove Knausgaard the other night and have just begun the third party of the trilogy (of course I haven't read part one yet) called The Third Realm. I like this dude's style.

Nearly finished 'Heat 2'. It's a bit like reading fan fiction.

Negative. I only came across him with Wolves... is it worth a read? Instantly getting drawn into The Third Realm here.

First ne is a tough read , deals with his family's alcohol addiction. Pretty intense and grubby , second one is about growing up and becoming a father so I could relate a lot, found myself nodding along to alot of it. Something addictive about the style of writing.
I must start volume 4 soon.

Nice. I'll keep an eye out for them.

Sorry, not adding anything to the conversation with this one but the words "fan fiction" strike fear into my heart. There are not many things worse

Almost finished Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard. He's becoming one of my go-to authors, his novels are entertaining and a pleasure to read even when I'm knackered.

What would you recommend as a starting point?
