[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just Kids by [b]Patti Smith. I'm not the biggest fan of Patti's music [/b](though I appreciate why she's famous and her place in history of rock), but I found her memoir really engaging. Also really enjoyed: - My Name is Barbra (Barbra Streisand) - High on Arrival (Mackenzie Phillips) - Open (Andre Agassi)[/quote] Of course you aren't. [/quote] I didn't realize it was a requirement to like Patti Smith's music. People are allowed to have different taste, you know. I really did enjoy her memoir, nevertheless. It's a snapshot of two artists (her and Robert Mapplethorpe) living the bohemian lifestyle in late-60s-NYC creating art and philosophizing - something I can't remotely identify with, with my UMC life in suburban DC with my 9-5 job, 401K, and a minivan. But she writes beautifully and I found the book really engaging. [/quote]
