pick5 Stars ⚡️ Three years before David Bowie died, he shared a list of 100 books that changed his life. His choices span fiction and nonfiction, literary and irreverent, and include timeless classics alongside eyebrow-raising obscurities.
In 100 short essays, music journalist John O'Connell studies each book on Bowie's list and contextualizes it in the artist's life and work.

I'm sure there's tons, but these are the first to spring to mind:
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston
Modern Love/Let's Dance - David Bowie (I can't choose between them!)

pick“This book is a love letter to Bowie…” and I loved every second of it. Some nice insight into his songs and his impact on the world. I used to read a lot of books about music and this reminded me why I like that genre. I‘m absolutely going to check out Sheffield‘s other books next.
so-soI thought I would love this book, but I didn't like it as much as I had anticipated I would. I'm a fan of David Bowie's music, but I felt like maybe this book gave me too much information about him? I don't know- it just wasn't my favorite of Rob Sheffield's books. I'm glad I read it, though.
pickOK, I really liked this book! It didn't get very good reviews, but I don't give a hoot. Sure, it read like a gossip column at times and focused a lot on Bowie's sex life, but I still found it interesting to read about all the famous people he rubbed elbows with (or perhaps I should say "all the famous people that rubbed elbows with HIM"). Such a different lifestyle than I'm accustomed to, that's for sure!

Be still my beating heart! ❣️
David had always been a voracious reader. By the end of the 1990s, he had been hired by Barnesandnoble.com to write online reviews of books. How cool is that?!
