Wow!  Small world.  I thought her book was excellent, and I'm looking forward to reading the 2 sequels.  It was heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time - a hard combo to muster.  I never thought I would care about some camels so much.

1 • Jaff Kalis - I Want to Take You Higher: The Life and Times of Sly and the Family Stone
2 • Vicki Myron - Dewey - The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
3 • Hugo Wilcken - 33 1/3: David Bowie's "Low"

adding
4 • Edwin Page - Horribly Awkward - The New Funny Bone
If this is what passes for writing a book these days, then I should write a book. The author has watched a few episodes of comedy shows on TV and constructed a tome about how 'cringeworthy humour' is the new rock & roll... or some such nonsense. The book is split into *ahem* definitive articles on the awkwardness shows such as "The Office" or "Little Britain" contain.  Unfortunately 'memorable' skits are given a name but not described, co-star names are mentioned with no reference points and everything feels merely culled from other articles and books on the subject matters. It all comes across as no more than a badly edited wikipedia entry.

Finally getting on the board in 2009!

1. Twenty Thousand Roads: The Ballad of Gram Parsons and His Cosmic American Music, David N. Meyer

Dense 500-page bio-tome about a haunting, complicated soul. Took all of January to get through it -- not because it was boring or poorly written -- quite the contrary -- but because I wanted to soak up every word of the Southern Gothic tragedy spanning generations well before and after Parsons' brief life. A brilliant read. Worth every second of the time it took to read it.
