After finding out Ozzy Osbourne died I decided to read his book I Am Ozzy to get an idea of his personal life since all I really knew was his music and I ended up absolutely loving it. After I decided to read Dave Mustaine's memoir since I'm a big Metallica and Megadeth fan and I was really curious on his life and I also ended up loving it too. Right now I'm a bit over halfway through Slash's memoir and it's making me want to find other musicians or famous people who've written books about their experiences.
It doesn't even need to be from someone I'm likely to know as I barely knew anything about Slash or Guns n Roses but I'm still really enjoying his book. I just find the world of music and fame so interesting and I love seeing the human side to the people everyone sees as godlike beings.

M Train by Patti Smith is unbelievably good.
