I used to actually review all the books I read. I'm not sure how many out there really care about what I read, but I did get through one you might like if you are into TV news. How to Watch TV News: Revised Edition
by Neil Postman and Steve Powers was a book that came out a while ago and was recently updated. If you are interested in a TV news career...read this book. If you are new to the TV business...read this book. If you are just a media geek...read this book. After working in TV news since 1995, I found this book to be the most accurate depiction of how and why the business runs the way it does. Also, watch this movie
.
Currently I am reading I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59
by Douglas Edwards. I will review this book when I finish. (In full disclosure, the publisher sent me a free copy to review on my blog).Here are some other titles I read and recommend. Obviously a lot are rock music books, so keep in mind, you probably should be a fan of the band to read them. The Vince Neil book was the worst of the group, Sammy Hagar's was the best of the bunch. If you click on any of the titles, you will be taken to Amazon.com where you can buy them. As an affiliate member, I get a small percentage of the sale. Thanks in advance.

Hagar's book was good. Wish he would have focused more on the pre-VH years. Vince Neil seems like a total douche to me, glad I didn't read that one. I just picked up "I Am Ozzy" and "The Story of Anvil" at Half Price Books. Still want to read Keith Richard's book.
ReplyDeleteThe Keith Richards book is intimidating to me because it is huge. I always go with an easier read first and never get to it.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to review my GD book on how I make love to sheep, goats, and donkeys? Answer me soon, bitch.
