      Anybody reading the books in the 33 1/3 Continuum series? The ones I've read are:

      The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society

      Piper At The Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd

      Tout Mask Replica - Capt. Beefheart & His Magic Band

      Song Cycle - Van Dyke Parks

      Marquee Moon - Television

      There's a pretty good variety in albums that are profiled in this series. What are your favorites?

      The Masters of Reality one by John Darnielle is great. It reads like Catcher in the Rye

      Someone loaned me the one on Celine Dion's Let's Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste. Despite an assurance that I would enjoy it, I approached it with a fair amount of skepticism and in the end, I really enjoyed it.

      Not so much because it's intimate portrait of C.D. & her music but because it managed to make some pithy & insightful statements about what drives personal taste, using her music as a reference/starting point.

       

      It made me very interested in the rest of the series... that being said I haven't had a chance to read any others.
