"Crowe may be a writer, but I would recommend coming to this like you would to any celebrity memoir. Structure is not the point, a real arc is hard to find. What it's for is to share the best stories. And, in this case, it's very specific. This book r"

| So I'm a huge fan of Crowe's film Almost Famous who doesn't have much use for any of the other films of his I've seen. Nonetheless, I was looking forward to this to see if there were any new insights about his time as a music journalist and his caree ...more | |

I came to this book by way of a rabbit hole that started with a prog rock song - Judas Unrepentant by Big Big Train, which is a condensed telling of Tom Keating's tale.. As a creative, Keating's story is fascinating - and maddening. And if his part of ...more |

What's going on in the non-fiction world? The last couple of books I've read in that genre have read like they were written for middle schoolers - this one included. That said, this tells the interesting story of "the birth of tabloid justice' - a cla ...more |

Meh. So the Edwardian charm of Wells' earlier novels is gone with this one. We get the story of a slacker who spends his time pining for a woman and pining for England to become a socialist utopia. When the woman throws him over for a man with money, ...more |

“If you’re honest with yourself as a writer, trying to tell the best story you can, your story will be an honest one. And your values will come out, no matter how hard you try to disguise them.”

“I didn’t want to write SF about people who Sold The Moon or were the big Earth-shattering Newtons-Pasteurs-Einsteins-Hawkings of the future. I wasn’t interested in the people who shaped the future.
