James is one of my favorite British bands, so when I heard that lead singer, Tim Booth, had a book coming out...well, I had to add it to my TBR list. How could I not? I love his lyrics, so, I'm sure I'll love his writing. Or, at least I'm willing to give it a go and see.
Here's a summary of the book (via Goodreads):
Meet Seth Brakes. Musician. Reluctant romantic. Inherent troublemaker. Addict.
And three hundred and twenty days sober.
After a near-death experience, Seth is carving a new path for himself. Having reformed the band - the infamous Lucky Fuckers - things are looking up for gigs are falling back into the diary, he's in love and finally getting back to what he enjoys writing music.
That is until his past starts to creep up on him . . .
A dark comedy that is painfully honest, original and dynamically told, When I Died For the First Time is a raw account of a man tested his uppermost limits, hitting legendary highs and crashing to catastrophic lows. It's a tale of second chances, love lost and gained, and coming back to a story that stays with you long after you've turned the last page.
Definitely sounds very rocker to me, so I'm willing to give it a read. Let me know if you've heard of the book, or of the band.
Happy reading!!

I have not heard of either the book of the band. But I'm intrigued by both.
Lark, the band is amazing! I love their songs. I've been listening to them since college, so that's nearly 30 years now. Crickey! That is a very long time :)
