i have a huge collection of books that i read. most of you by now have noticed i like to collect things but books are one of the best things to collect. i enjoy reading autobiographies, non-fiction mysteries, conspiracies, and other interesting things. pretty much the only type of book i don't like to read are fiction unless it meets certain, ultra-specific criteria of mine. every now and then i will post a book that i am reading or have read somewhere along the line that i would recommend my readers reading. much like my blog - posting literature, music, and anything and everything - is meant to turn people onto different things they might not have known about otherwise.
anyhow, a book that i am currently re-reading is Scar Tissue which is sort of an autobiography of sorts by Anthony Kiedis. it is a New York Times Bestseller when it first was released. i originally purchased the book about 2-3 years back and i enjoyed reading it so much that i decided it would be a good book to read - especially being sick and in bed. when i first read it - it took me about 3 days to read the 465 page book. the book is mostly about Anthony's family history, a little about RHCP's adventures and stories, and a lot about his road to recovery in regards to sobriety. 2 years ago - when i first read the book, i was having issues with sobriety myself and this book really, really touched and helped me. i could really relate and identify with the book because at the time, i was playing drums in a band and using at the same time which lead to my demise with the band. i entered an out-patient rehab and i have to honestly say that this book helped me get through everything i was going through. even if you aren't a huge fan of RHCP - the book is really, really awesome. i highly recommend purchasing it the next time you are at a bookstore.
