Dylan: Visions, Portraits, and Back Pages

Despite having a forward by Bono, I find the book very interesting. It details his life and career as one would expect, but it also has alot of things you wouldn't expect. Such as a section Dylan's lovers, to a section on his drug use. The book is complete with interviews from virtually everyone, Dylan himself, Joan Baez, The Beatles, fans who attended some of his most famous gigs, pretty much everyone. The book details on in depth process of recording album from his first to Love and theft. There is also a section on the 100 greatest Dylan songs and each is given atleast a paragraph from one of his musicians admirers such as Paul McCartney. Pretty much everything you'd ever want to know about Dylan in this book. I'm digging it. Also no page is pictureless, YAY!
