Definitely an autobiography and not a history, the book is a bit uneven and jumpy even. Still, it's a ride worth taking. The parts about learning how and then making music were compelling. Fast read. (less)

The second, and second great one, from John Brandon. A wildly different story but every bit as gritty and disturbing as Arkansas. A little slower, and it takes a little longer to get into, but the book simply moves at its own necessary pace. This book surprises you with its originality, with characters that seem unlikely but compelling. More great writing: "As usual, Mr. Hibma was a character, not the author. And thank God. Mr. Hibma wasn't up to being the author. He didn't know how to save himself. Never was he less skilled, more doltish, that when he tried to figure and plot his own life." Ken - well, everyone - read this!(less)

A great read about Frank Oppenheimer, the "uncle of the atomic bomb" (his brother Robert being the "father"), this book never slows as it covers the life of this great and inspiring and complicated man who struggled with science-and-politics and eventually created one of the greatest "museums" - The Exploratorium. You can't escape wondering what happens after a strong and influential founder's passing - how the Exploratorium continues to make its way as its culture evolves and its industry matures. Reading this book - hell, visiting the Exploratorium - will make you nervously check for signs that you haven't stopped being curious.(less)

Crazy dead-on book. Tight, even when it rambles sometimes. One main character goes from third to second to, at the end, first person. Dialogue is great. Here's one grab: "With these guns, we'll never have to go to jail if we don't want to. Gives you the option of ruining their party." "Whose party?" "When they bring in fourteen cruisers and SWAT and the chopper – all of them with hard-ons to call you a fuckbag and break your teeth on the floor. You make them stand out there all night, till they're lathered up to their ears, then you just shoot yourself and they all have to go home and beat up their dog." No nice ending here (maybe a nice enough ending in just one corner of the story) but you figure that out pretty early on. (less)

I read this start to finish on a flight from Amsterdam to SF and though I'm not one that ever sobs when reading a book I gotta say that there where times where the anguish I felt at points in this book forced me to put the book down and stare out the window - for a long time - but hell if that helped: all I could do is look down and wonder if from 39,000 feet in the sky my America would look any different than the one McCarthy depicts in The Road. The bleakest of tales, and one where you read the whole book wondering which road you would take - the father's or the mother's - until the end, where you have to ask yourself an infinitely more difficult question. And then, in the last pages, McCarthy gives you the slimmest depiction of what just might feel like hope. (less)
