I've just finished Life by Keith Richards and it's fantastic. I couldn't put it down.
It's an over-used word, but this man is indeed a legend. The fact that he is still alive is unbelievable. But he's clearly got the constitution of a tank. The tale of his life is incredibly entertaining, moving and insightful. You really understand his love for the blues, his devotion to music, his loyalty to his friends and bandmates and his mad, mad mind. Told in a dynamic conversational style, it's a must-read.
And if you've not read any rock autobiographies, here are some of my favourites:
Faithfull: An Autobiography by Marianne Faithfull with David Dalton.
the dirt by Motley Crue
Eric Clapton The Autobiography by Eric Clapton
Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis
Next on my reading list:
Just Kids by Patti Smith
