Hello, everyone, and welcome to Book Notification Weekly Picks.
After reading some particularly unhinged fiction lately, I decided to go with a non-fiction book for my next read. We recommended Long Road by Steven Hyden back in Weekly Picks #30, and that helped inspire me to finally dig in. It is a really good read that digs into the band’s history, their place in the music world, and how that changed over time. The hardest part of reading this book is not immediately stopping and listening to the songs when they are mentioned. I read a few chapters last night, and then immediately woke up and put the album on. I think that’s a sign of good writing. (In addition to his books, Steven Hyden is on Substack if you are interested in music criticism.)
This month’s I Care About Books Podcast pick is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. This pick was actually inspired by a comment on the website that said the world would be a better place if people read it. I guess we’ll find out!
That’s all I have for this week. Let’s get to the picks.
