I recently finished Percival Everett's James. I really loved it. The end was surprising and satisfying. Highly recommend.

 

I'm now reading Ken Callait's Making of Rumours. He was the lead producer, as well as the father of Colbie. I'm reading it because I saw Stereophonic on Broadway last November and he sued the writers. They settled. The book is ok. Not as exciting as I'd hoped. Callait comes off as a real 70s music biz dude in some of the worst possible ways, glorifying his excesses and sexual conquests. Can't recommend.

Just finished this one.  Quite a story... very enjoyable read.   

Only an occasional fan of historical fiction, and this one was a tad long, but I greatly enjoyed the read.

I read Callait's Rumours book a while ago --- I thought it was ok - he had some great in-studio content.

His book about Tusk (Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album) - really fits the 'glorifying his excesses and sexual conquests'.

 

If you thought his Rumours book was bad - definitely skip the Tusk book.
