We know already the story of The Beatles, however Ringo tells their story through this visual autobiography with recently found photographs of their early years together,
A superb documentary photographer, Ringo's images have more meaning now than ever.

This morning we reviewed M Train  by the beautiful being who is Patti Smith.  This comes out on October 6th.
We were huge fans of Just Kids (2010 National Book Award winner) and I guess you could see this as a follow up. Where as Just Kids is a chronological coming of age tale; M Train is a lush gathering of pilgrimages - for coffee, for gravestones, for words. Another incredible read written by an incredible woman.

Today, Jenna and Max talked about How Bizarre: Pauly Fuemana and the Song that Stormed the World. Simon Grigg owned the tiny record label that realised one of New Zealand's biggest songs - this is the song's biography. It's detailed, frank and incredibly compelling. A fantastic music biography.

Today Jenna reviewed Getcha Rocks Off: Sex & Excess, Bust-Ups & Binges, Life & Death on the Rock 'n' Roll Road' . This is written by Mick Wall, a longtime music journalist who has traveled on the road with some of the biggest names in rock. However, after only recently reading The Dirt by Motley Crue, Jenna could only take so many tales of drugs, spandex pants and the objectification of 'chicks.' But! There are probably plenty of readers who would enjoy this collection of boozy tales - it's light, fast paced and dirty.
