Always reading something :D
Just finished "Spook Country" William Gibson's latest book.
And got hold of "The Fender Stratocaster Handbook" so I'm poking through that one now.

Clapton's new autobiography. Downloaded it in 10 seconds for 13 bucks and reading it on my eBookwise reader which has a backlight, perfect for bedtime reading with all the lights off. Kind of reminds you of reading under the covers when you were a kid.

Question: If Eric Clapton had a Marshall Amp when he was 11, what would be the first tune he would have played through it?

Answer: None. He had no electricity in his house when he was growing up, and used an outhouse in the backyard. Talkin bout hard times...who knows better, than I?

It's a fast read, he really did write it himself, it reads exactly like him talking.

Got hold of Clapton's autobiography,
Quite a good read, and something I can relate to having attended the 60's .

Reading Clapton's autobiography while waiting for the good old post office to find what happened to my parcel with the stories of Vaughan I ordered:
Stevie Ray Vaughan: Caught in the Crossfire
Roadhouse Blues: Stevie Ray Vaughn and Texas R&B
Looking forward to reading his story if the books ever show up.

I Read in phases. Either I read a lot, or just magazines and shampoo bottles, but I've always got to have something to read. Besides Guitar Player and Acoustic Guitar Magazines.

My favorite Authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Louise L'amoure.

My favorite Books are Cat's Cradle, Breakfast Of Champions, Bluebeard, Mother Night, Hitchhikers Guide Trilogy (all Five), Riley's Luck, Cannery Row, Catcher in the Rye, and Skeleton Crew (Stephen King Short Stories).

The last book I read was "Doc Savage and the Lost Oasis" by one of Kenneth Robesons ghost writers.

Hello Grag Mitchell and All,

I got the Clapton book for Christmas,
but it'll have to wait in line, just finishing up
Red-Gauntlet by Sir Walter Scott.
I like to read usually daily.

Cheers.
