I'm a Gen-X aged dude who loves reading. Passionate about a variety of genres, including sci-fi, mystery, comic books, and philosophy. I "read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live", to borrow a phrase from Annie Dillard.

Greg Prato: Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music (2009) 5 stars

This is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in grunge or music in the early 90s. It's full of interviews and stories from your favourite bands, bands you haven't thought about in 20 years, and ones you probably haven't even heard of.

Beyond that, it's also a fascinating look at the perils of fame and success, and the challenges associated with having your wildest dreams come true. We see how that can absolutely destroy lives, estrange friendships, but also give people a platform to speak to the world.
