Great theme Ruth!

Really good idea Ruth and some of these look fascinating! I can see your tastes and origins too. LOL!

I read a good one a few years ago - Eric Clapton: The Autobiography. Although I thought I knew quite a lot about him, it was still interesting and revealing. Plus I was surprised how well he could write.

[Charbel]

I like this challenge Ruth! Number 7 has an interesting title as well as number 5.

[Bionic Jean]

I think number 7 quotes one of their earliest hits ...

I am a massive Rolling Stones fan... I need to make a dent in all the books I have about them ha ha . Thanks for all the comments guys :-)

[Ruth]

Jean there is a book you might like, Miss O'Dell by Chris O'Dell. She worked with the Beatles, Stones, Clapton, Dylan and more. Very interesting.

[Bionic Jean]

Thanks Ruth! I'll certainly have a look :)
