THE PRINTED WORD

Posted by Kai on August 1, 2015 at 3:34pm in Mod Talk

Having just noticed that the initiator of the latest "book" thread left the site taking the discussion with him, it's my turn again to revive it; being too important a topic to be dropped, imo.

Having finished "Get Carter" by Ted Lewis over the Holidays, I'll soon start with "Jack Carters Law", a prequel set in late 60s Soho.

Diggin' this at the moment...

  Just read it earlier this year. Very candid and interesting. Although my focus waned in the second half as details of his life outside of music predominated.

  I've just finished reading the fantastic and surprisingly in depth Richard Barnes book, The Who Maximum R&B. So thought I would give this another try after getting it on publication.
  
  Isn't an autobiography suppose to be more than the sum of one part of a persons life Scott?
- Scott Anthony > Gary D' June 16, 2017 at 3:10pm
  
  Yes, and I prefer an autobiography to a biography every time. It's certainly worth finishing. I still find details of a publihing career, real estate purchases, boat purchases, domestic issues, etc. less compelling than say Kit Lambert stories for example.

  Yes, I get what your saying Scott so I will plough on ;0)

  I Imagine this might be quite sinister at times, especially regarding the childhood!?
- Gary D' > Kai June 14, 2017 at 10:13pm
  
  Very raw and sinister Kai. Not sure how honest it is though so reading it objectively.

One to take on holiday perhaps?

When all is said and done about The Who. The Who: Maximum R&B - Richard Barnes stands the test of time and can't be beaten. The best of the lot including the big coffee table cash in's imho. If you've not got a copy, It's highly recommended that you do. A great read and photo book, no I'm not in it, nor a friend of Barnsy ;0)
