Books - suggestions Wanted
Nov 3^rd, 2009 at 2:38am

Maybe someone wanted for he/she birthday or Chritsmas' time, expensive gifts..
Or in our case, Stones' memorabilia, cause we are still Stones' fans nevertheless all and our heros' havent ever release a new album yet.. in many years, I have to admit.
I'm simply looking for books, as about the Stones, as about history, science, Horror though.
As funny ones, as ironic and ect.
Soon I will be done to read about the Keih's book..
I've got at home some books about them , but havent enough yet.
Please, some of you have some suggestions or ideas for me?
May add a list of what you have been or are reading?
I believe that book as that one of Tony Sanchez, I can do less. I'd read it many years ago, in Italian..
but I'm searching books in English. As for instance I always watch and hear the movie in the original language if just I may. So I would continue do the same about the reading.
Anybody's help?
Thank you in advance

Here's the Bill German book, Lantern:

It's a great read.

Thanks Sweet Virginia.

was been also in the Lew' site dont?
have you read the Marianne's biography?
I havent yet. I'm checking what the fans, my friends have already read
and what's they had liked at the most.
In these days, always more often, I got very few time to stay online
and then make a search engine.
As soon as possible I'll go in Amazon to take a look about the prices.
I think, I might spend about 150$ for the books.
For all I mean.

The Stanley Booth book is very good, called "The True Adventures of The Rolling Stones" I got it a few years ago, covers the '69 tour really good, with details (he became a junkie later on) about everything, he was close to The Stones.

The Rolling Stones ain't just a group, their a way of life-Andrew Loog Oldham.
