The early parts of biographies are always boring though. I never give up on them until the subject starts really coming into his/her own. I suggest you stick it out, unless, well, maybe you really don't care that much about Neil Young.
And if you don't care that much about Neil Young, question your entire life.
HA! I want to second this (with a grain of salt). I read that book three times, twice initially, and then once within the last year. WHY? No idea. Honeyslides, I guess.
JUST FINISHED: Where Men Win Glory, by Krakauer. It was a very, very frustrating read. Incredibly detailed at times, totally superficial at others. The ending (the very last pages) REALLY got under my skin. I have always had a difficult time with the dude-li-ness/masculinity of Krakauer's work (Mormon book aside, which was just a hatestomp through and through), and this book literally ends with a very difficult little discussion of masculinity.
Not sure how I feel about it.
Finishing True Grit today. It's cute!
Next Up: I want to read that new Capone book, but I'll probably read Jennifer Egan's new novel instead.
