Me too. It's a great look into the early years of the Stones, and I really enjoy how he writes about the songwriting.
Just finished Robert A. Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters". Great read like all pre 80's Heinlein.
Despite the lurid title, The Poisoner's Handbook is an excellent history of the development of forensic medicine in NYC in the early twentieth century:

Structure of Consciousness: Liminocentricity, Enantiodromia, and Personality by John Fudjack. Pretty cool paper. Interesting if you've read Jung's work on personality.
And I've got this on the way.

Lawton's fictionalization of Invalid Link Removed:
While Crabb's fate is the subject of a huge body of conflicting conspiracist lunacy, and some facts regarding it sealed by the British government until 2057, Lawton's book does not pretend to be anything but entertaining fiction.

The latest book (continued on by Brandon Sanderson) came out recently, so I'm rereading the series.
At the same time, I'm reading:
"Leadership" by Rudy Gulliani, and I don't really like politics so that's sayin alot for this book. Actually a really good writer. Personal deep stuff good read.
Just finished a few JR Rain stories and have started into Wolves of the Calla, no. 5 in the Stephen King Dark Tower series. Next up will be George Carlin's Last Word. Before the Rain series, I read the latest Jack Reacher story from Lee Childs. Pretty solid...much better than 61Hours. I also read John Grisham's latest which was a pretty decent effort for him.?
Thirteen by Richard K. Morgan.
Only 50 pages to end.
His previous Takeshi Kovacs trilogy is great, too.
And don't miss his Market Force !

I've been meaning to pick up his other novels, I've only read Altered Carbon so far, which I loved.
Finished up Berlin at War, fantastic book. Highly recommended.
Currently:
Finished the Stieg Larsson Series. "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" & the the other two. Awesome.
Reading "Love is a Mix Tape" now.. An autobiography by Rob Sheffield. He's a contributing editor to Rolling Stone & this is his sort of autobiography of his deceased wife through the view of a mix tape. Interesting, but not super engrossing.
My g/f got me "High Fidelity" and "Fargo Rock City" for Christmas so I'll probably read one of those next.

I recommend following sequence.
Altered Carbon (you've already read it) - Market Force (Mad Max meets Wall Street! Pretty hillarious... and violent) - Thirteen - Rest of TK trilogy (Broken Angels & Woken Furies)
