I just bought Guitar Player Repair Guide third edition by Dan Erlewine which is just a great trouble shooting book to have. After reading how talented so many of our forum brothers are in that department it made me want to stop being mentally challenged in that area and this book is great.

Claptons autobiography was a good read. Right now I am reading George Harrison. Eric Clapton and Me by Patti Boyd the beautiful ex wife and muse to both, that classics like Something and Layla were written for.
