Hello Members,

I am trying to find friends with interests of non fiction Rock and Roll memoirs, autobiographies and such.

Thank You,

Tonia

Were you looking for "friends" in the PBS way? I sent you a friend request. If you didn't get it, feel free to friend me. I love those kinds of books, they're pretty much my favorites. Check out my WL for ideas on some I'm wishing for (it's how I find great books to add to my list, by trolling other peoples' WL).  Anyway, YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND! :-)

I have switched all my reads to a Nook ~ but I only read Non Fiction..I actually have about 50 Wl books to post and I think I have a few of the Rock music ones... :) Feel free to add me..

I love reading rock memoirs. Feel free to send me a friend request. :)

So memoirs in general are my favorite books to read. Didn't really know there was a rock n' roll memoir, but sure why not. Sounds like the juciest type. Of course! Now as far as what I would need for myself, I require large print only. So this limits me. There is not as much available in large print, let alone when narrowing it down to memoirs (and  also like erotica/romance). 

The other thing is I am new to paperbackswap, so not to familiar with how things work. I would love to be friends with you and maybe we can share info in the future. Thanks,

I read them all the time my shelf is down right now but hope to have it back up soon.

I read tons of this, but mostly from the library.

There is such a huge variation in this genre, some are just dreadful, awful, and some are terrific.

I have been listening to Just Kids by Patti Smith.  If you haven't, you should listen to this one unabridged in her own voice.  Really powerfully written and read.  

I never outgrew my Hit Parader and Metal Edge days...now I have to read about my rockers one at a time   Feel free to add me.

feel free to add me! I love classic rock memoirs like aerosmith walk this way and motley crue the dirt!

I love rock memoirs. I usually have some on my shelf, but i just sent out 8 books, so I have to get reading. 

I also love this genre and was thinking of starting a thread asking for recommendations.  

I especially like books that include historical context such as what was happening in social culture etc. in the artist's heyday.  Don't go so much for the ones that are all gossip.

Under Their Thumb: How a Nice Boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed Up with the Rolling Stones (and Lived to Tell About It)  Author  Bill German

These are both great if you loved the 60;s the Laurel Canyon book is excellent , If you are a true Stones fan this Stones book is really good written by a Fan who toured with them for years, .Great stories
