I think I'm in the mood to read a biography. I really enjoyed Heavier than Heaven. Anyone like to suggest any biographies about musicians?? I've got my new library card!!!

'Elton' - even if you don't like his music it's a pretty good read. Richard Branson's autobiography is really good as is Michael Caine's.

Bill Wyman's Stone Alone is quite a good read, but it's unfortunately peppered with accounts of his sexual conquests...

Mike Oldfield's one is not bad either but really only for true fans.
