I gotta get my book reading going again, but past great reads of mine.
Heart-Shaped Box - Joe Hill aging rocker who collects weird macabre objects. His last purchase being a heart-shaped box from a lady online of her late father’s suit. She was getting rid of it because her daughter gets upset over seeing it and claims grandpa was still there. She never saw him, but she hopes by getting rid of it, that he daughter will be fine again. That’s all I will say, but it’s one of my top 5 reads for where everything goes.
Blood Sucking Fiends/You Suck: A Love Story/Bite Me! - Christopher Moore not the only books of his I will mention. It’s a vampire trilogy series of books, but will intermingle for a chapter or 2 with other book characters of other books he has written. I like to call them his San Francisco series of books, will with one in Hawaii. Anyways the books are fucking hilarious and is not like a Twilight series of books.
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal - Christopher Moore ok it’s what it says. His best friend Biff is resurrected by an angel, placed in a fancy hotel paid by the silver Judas got for betraying Jesus. He is to write what went on during those many years missing of Jesus life in the Bible. Where he and Biff went off too in order to find out “who is Jesus Christ?” Again it’s a funny book but doesn’t go insulting Jesus or the religion itself.
Why We Suck! - Denis Leary great fun biography read (gotta read the 2nd book, Why We Don’t Suck) Anyways the book is filled with childhood and family stories. Few breaks where he’s just talking about what he and his mom discussed during a writers block. One dedicated to his love that is Oprah and having all the answers for him.
Alice Cooper’s Golf Monster probably my favourite biography. His life has had some amazing moments and sad personal ones as well. Talks about his drug addiction, career moments like with the chicken, his manager/not manager “The Shep” His story on how Shep became a manager is truly amazing, as he wasn’t going that route but “was a Jew” Plus talks a lot about golf from how this addiction helps him get over his drug addiction. The people who helped might surprise you too
The Road - Cormac McCarthy what a great read this one is, and it’s one hell of an emotional journey. I cried like a baby maybe twice while reading it. They made a movie of it, bought it, and yet I haven’t been able to get myself to watch. It’s a dark bleak story but wow you’ll be glad you read it
