"I love Shakey, Neil Young's biography, by Jimmy McDonough."

"There's Lennon Remembers, Jann Wenner's book of interviews with John Lennon, where John reviews the canon of Beatles songs, which is candid, pointed and often surprising."

"The Art Spirit, by Robert Henri, is quite beautiful and inspiring."
