I finally got around to reading it...

I was feeling a little under the weather this weekend and spent most of it with my head in a book. Love is a Mix Tape is a book I first heard about through a Tide listener. Ever since then, I've been hearing about the book everywhere. I ended up reading almost the whole thing in one sitting... it was that good (or maybe I was just feeling that crappy and didn't want to get up from the couch... either way, it was a great read). The book is written by Rob Sheffield, who also writes for Rolling Stone magazine. It's an autobiography, a love story, a music guide and a tragic tale all described through a series of mix tapes. What music lover hasn't made a mix tape to describe how they feel about someone? Or maybe gotten a little too excited about being chosen to make the perfect party mix (only by default, because no one else had the time/wanted to)? I know I've got a box of old tapes sitting around somewhere. I'm a little bit afraid of what I might find though... anyone up for some Boyz II Men circa 1991?
