I am very, very late to the party on this one, but I'm finally reading the book that every person on Earth has already read. The reason it took me so long to finally read it is the same reason I'm not really digging it now -- I just don't like books about music. Sorry world. I've enjoyed a few musical memoirs but most books that incorporate music in some major way are really focused on references to specific songs or artists which rarely land for me. Maybe if someone bases an entire novel around 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' I could get on board, but I've really struggled with references to Gen X punk bands. Blech.
