Just Kids

I just finished Patti's Smith memoir, Just Kids. A prelude to fame which focuses on her incredible relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe and recounts their lifelong pursuit of art circa 1960 - 1970 in New York City. 

I highly recommend it.

Scar Tissue

So... last week I finished Scar Tissue, the autobiography of Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer of red hot Chilli Peppers. His raw and candid way of telling his story is incredibly compelling and makes it hard to put the book down. His stories about growing up in Hollywood, meeting his band mates at high school and his constant battle with drug addiction is unreal. I feel as though I vicariously lived through him throughout the book! 

You know when you're seriously sad that a books over? Yeah. I'm feeling that right now. A seriously good read. Pick yourself up a copy if you can!
