I tried to read Ulysses and couldn't get into it 

Tried to read that a few months back,  lasted 3 pages.  The language was too dated.

One of the best autobiographies I've ever read.

Mad respect for Lanegan - maybe the only bastard ever to admit that he hates his own mother...  

Screaming Trees - Dust and his work with Isobel Cambell are essential and he's a damn great singer...

But...

Clearly rattled by Liam Gallagher, who I also hate, however he's clearly shat it from the wee Manc midget... ?  Too many pages about how he is a man of violence and was waiting for the right time to "smash the little tyrant", but "he always had security next to him".

Loved the passage about when Van Conner from the Trees smashed Liam in the face with his bass. 

I wish there was footage of that.

Great fucking book likes.

Scar Tissue or The Dirt best autobiographies for me.

The first few childhood chapters of books are a slog but the when you’re losing your virginity to your Dads girlfriend and sharing beds with Cher it grabs your attention a lot more.

Boy he could play guitar though. I'd put on ML every single time ahead of thon nonsense LG solo albums that someone else wrote for him 

LG is great for an interview though
