Just finished. Inspired and crushed at the same time. Likely will re-read many times over. Isaacson did a phenomenal job, and of course the subject is one of a kind.
Brandi's music and voice are filled with heart and melody. The Story was about power, but Give up the Ghost is just about music. Love listening to this album at home and while running.
Its one on the list of my top favorite cities but it is a great city nevertheless, with its eclectic unique character and style. Giant piece of America and American History.
Great read, highly recommended. A mix of popular science, history and a personal story - a rare gem. Foer has a gift for pulling readers in and for distilling things to their essence.
