Just got Stephen King's 11.22.63 on offer on Kindle so I'm re-reading that. I think it's up there with his very best work.

How Music Works - David Byrne
How is it? I’ve thought about getting it a few times.
It's pretty good! If you're a fan of David Byrne, you'll particularly like it. I'm finding that quite a bit more of the book than I expected is about his career. I really liked the opening chapter which is more of a look at the varying roles of music in society, and how the intention of the music informs its creation. I wish the whole book was about that kind of thing. I'm a little over halfway through, and most of it has been about things he has done and what he learned from them. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not what I expected.
