i prefer autobiographies to biographies. anthony kiedis' book is really good, as is marilyn manson's. i'm currently reading johnny rotten's, which is okay. henry rollins' get in the van sucks (though i only read the first 60 pages.) he whines a lot about cops and doesn't talk about any of the fun stuff like sex or drugs that makes a good rock book. hammer of the gods (the zeppelin book) is just all right as well. very historical but a little dry.
fargo rock city is a great book about '80s metal culture, and the dirt, the autobiography of motley crue, is the best book ever written.
