I just finished reading "Ghost Rider - travels on the healing road" by Neil Peart - the drummer for RUSH. It's an account of his travels from Canada to the US to Mexico as he struggles to overcome the deaths of his wife and daughter. - An outstanding book

Check out the book "Shakey". Not only is it a biography on one of the most quirky, eclectic, and talented rock-musicians of all time it also reveals quite a bit of the history and origins of rock music itself.
