XX - Chronicles Volume One, by Bob Dylan, 293 pages, Simon and Schuster, 2003
WHY I PICKED IT: I like Bob Dylan and Nick Hornby recommended it
ELAPSED TIME: 8 days.
RATING: Meh.
8 days in, and I only got through 145 pages. What I realized is that although I like Dylan, this autobiography is an odd collection of anecdotes that doesn't really delve into the roots of his music. When he listed people who went to the parties he attended in NYC, and I didn't recognize any of the names... that should have been a sign to quit. Instead, I struggled through another 100 pages before quitting on this book.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
