I finished Runaway Dream: Born to Run and Bruce Springsteen's American Vision by Louis P. Masur, a nice little book about Springsteen's seminal album Born to Run, its reception, and its impact on music and Springsteen's career. I enjoyed the book, but I think it's definitely a book geared more towards fans of the album and/or fans of Springsteen than casual fans.
I have since started reading Clapton by Eric Clapton. It's about a guy named Clapton and his merry adventures in or around London and such. But seriously, so far it's great. It's a quick read, despite relatively small font. I'm up to Derek & The Dominos, which, as you may know, put out my favorite album of all time.
