The One Minute Music Book Club: Bowie’s Bookshelf–The 100 Books That Changed David Bowie’s Life by John O’Connell
David Bowie was a voracious reader. He’d read about everything, absorbing knowledge and opinion and then transmuting that into music. John O’Connor has compiled a fascinating list from Bowie’s library and calls it Bowie’s Bookshelf: The 100 Books That Changed David Bowie’s Life, today’s pick for my One Minute Music Book Club.
What kind of books, you ask?
- A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (duh)
- Lolita from Vladimir Nabokov
- The Iliad (yes, Homer)
- White Noise by Don DeLillo
It’s a FASCINATING list. Anyone know of a book club built around this book?
