Book Recommendation

Am looking for a couple of paperbacks that I can take on vacation and read in the airport to kill time. Any ideas? Would love to hear from regular or irregular readers of Jimmy. Title, Author & Genre would be great.

UPDATE: Anyone who recommends The Audacity of Hope will be banned!

Might I suggest, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. You may also enjoy "The PoorMan's James Bond" by Kurt Saxon. It's better than "The Anarchists' Cookbook".

Have you read "Paperback Writer" by Mark Shipper? It's a slightly distorted take on the Beatles' history.Very funny. "X-Ray", Ray Davies' unauthorized autobiography is a masterpiece. Another autobio you should seek out is "MILES" by Miles Davis.I believe he set some sort of record with his gratuitous use of the'F-word'.One final suggestion:"Daddy's Boy" by Chris Elliot.It's a Mommie Dearest type tell all about his childhood.Each chapter is followed by a rebuttal from his dad-Bob Elliot.

... and if you like comics, you can download and print this unusual work by R.Crumb.It comes with this warning:*** WARNING: These comics contain explicitly racist and antisemitic images and descriptions that may disturb some viewers. It is placed here only to remind the public that such things still do exist.***
