uncool2pillow Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Bit of a comfort read, but why not, since I'm struggling with some Polish novel about some guys going off the rails in the Tatra mountains (in English) and this arrived in the post today - a second hand bargain. So I've diverted. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Only an occasional fan of historical fiction, and this one was a tad long, but I greatly enjoyed the read. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
