I'm reading BUBBLEGUM MUSIC IS THE NAKED TRUTH, which lots of other people 
read and mentioned here over a year ago.  I'm finding it spotty (thanks to 
the sheer number of contributors) but generally interesting.

Before that, I read HOW TO BE GOOD, a terrible novel by Nick Hornby, author 
of the much better HIGH FIDELITY and ABOUT A BOY.  His SONGBOOK is on my 
shelf waiting to be read now.

Before that, I read a book with no musical content that I can recall--but 
it's a *great* read.  It's KICK ME: ADVENTURES IN ADOLESCENCE, by Paul 
Feig.  Feig was the co-creator of FREAKS AND GEEKS.  If you dug that show, 
then you should read this book.  It's both painful (if you had your share 
of awkward moments in high school) and hilarious.  I wanted more when I 
finished; usually I'm ready to jump to the next book.
