I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to settle down with a good book unless I’m on a plane, on vacation or over the holidays. During those times, I try to squeeze in one or two if I can (I read fast!).
But I’m always looking for recommendations on things to read and I thought what better resource than the bands that pass through our studios?
I cornered a few folks after their live sessions to ask about their favorite books. What I got was a really interesting mix. It’s nice to know that Kimbra and I share the same favorite book! Check it out:
