Top Five Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, but is now hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. To participate, link your post back to Meeghan’s blog or leave a comment on her weekly post. I found this on Davida's Page @ The Chocolate Lady.

This week’s topic is a Freebie. Before I joined, one of the topics was Music. Meeghan said: "February seems to have a ‘national ukulele day’ so what are your top 5 books about music, musicians, or instruments."
I liked that idea and was sorry to have missed it. So, today, my Top 5 Tuesday is about Music. I found some very different literature.
Dylan, Bob "Chronicles. Volume One" - 2004
Mercier, Pascal "Lea" (GE: Lea) - 2007
Tibballs, Geoff "The Good, the Bad and the Wurst. The 100 Craziest Moments from the European Song Contest" - 2016

I highly recommend this one, which is nonfiction:

Too bad I never wrote a real review
I will check it out. Thanks, Emma.
DeleteThe Pianist From Syria looks like one I would really like.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful real story about people who carry on supporting each other despite all the hardships they are thrown.
DeleteOne of my all-time favorite books is the Beastie Boys Anthology. It had all the grittiness of what it felt like growing up in NYC in the 70s and 80s, and how they mellowed as they matured and I was sobbing by the end, when they were writing about their very last show before Yauch passed away. It was such a gut-punch but is one of the best books I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I only know that there is a group called Beastie Boys. I wouldn't even know what kind of music they made but I just googled them. I couldn't find a single title that I have heard of. It was not my time, I guess. I have no idea how popular they were here in Europe but I never was much into Hip-Hop.
DeleteStill, it certainly would be an appropriate book for this topic. Thanks, Sarah.
