Just finished:

San Antonio Rose: THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF BOB WILLS (by Charles Townsend )
With the kind of deep research and extensive insterviews that only a serious academic would offer, but written with the warmth and insight of a true fan (author Charles Townsend is both things). This was possibly the most in-depth, detailed and enjoyable biography i have ever read. Bonus: complete session list with band member details!

Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal by Jon Wiederhorn, Katherine Turman
Mostly only read the genres i was interested in. Some of it interesting and insightful. Some of it... well, i am reminded of Henry Rollins once saying "All those bands you like? You wouldn't like them half as much if you saw the crap they write on change room walls."

And I've just started:

Cazzarola!: Anarchy, Romani, Love, Italy (A Novel) by Norman Nawrocki
"Cazzarola! is a gripping, epic, political, historical, and romantic novel spanning 130 years in the life of the Discordias, a fictional family of Italian anarchists. It details the family's heroic, multigenerational resistance to fascism in Italy and their ongoing involvement in the anarchist movement. From early 20th-century factory strikes and occupations, armed anarchist militias, and attempts on Mussolini's life, to postwar student and labor protest, and confronting the newest wave of contemporary neofascist violence sweeping Europe, the Discordias navigate the decades of political, economic, and social turmoil. Against this historical backdrop, Antonio falls in love with Cinka, a proud but poverty-stricken Romani refugee from the “unwanted people,” without a country or home, forced to flee again and again searching for peace. Theirs becomes a life-changing and forbidden relationship. Both are forced to reevaluate their lives and contend with cultural taboos, xenophobia, and the violent persecution of Romani refugees in Italy today."

I've not read the book but we saw the stage adaptation of this in London a few years back. I enjoyed it, it was quite a moving story and the life sized horse puppets were amazing.

We used to have one as a pet. Mom made us get rid of it after it ate the dog.

I'm surprised that a thesaurus ate a dog. I'd've thought it would be more likely to manducate a canid.
