BOOKS READ..WELL ONE ANYWAY


Dream Brother by David Browne: An interesting concept - a dual biography of father and son Tim & Jeff Buckley. Both musicians, both died young, Tim at 28 of drugs, Jeff at 30 by drowning. Both apparently very talented, but neither rose beyond cult status. It's strange how their lives paralleled one another, yet while Tim was alive, he barely knew Jeff. A fascinating read, with the characters brought to life so as if you knew them.
