I posted a similar thread an hour ago on /mu/. But /mu/ is currently turning into porn shitposting, and the thread is about to die anyways due to the spam. So I thought I might as well repost this here.
Post some good music related books. Or any music books you’re currently reading right now

i'll admit I'm reading that Born To Run autobio by Springsteen. It's not super great, but it does surpass my expectations. I'd be interested to know in serio how much he wrote vs ghostwritten.

While I never have actually read any music biographies, they are on my list, i heard MIles Davis's autobiography is great and hilarious, like, he talks shit about everyone else in his book basically!! kek. Also, the ANthony Kedis one was pretty popular amongst lesbian normies when I was in HS.

Have you read that? D Ellington and J Coltrane are arguable the undisputed champions of jazz music, MOnk could have given them a run for their money if he wasn't an absolute scatterbrain.

Confessions of a Heretic by Adam Nergal Darski(the guy from Behemoth) is surprisingly good, he talks a lot about growing up in Poland, the USSR, dating some famous actress, leukemia, etc.

Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann
A composer sells his soul to the devil so he can complete his great work.
anyone who's interested in black metal or the esoteric/satanic side of music and art will get a kick out of this book. lots of heavy philosophical dialogue that maybe translates a bit awkwardly into your native tongue though so be warned.
