I believe you're looking for this - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9132&PN=1
And i don't think a reading thread would go in Prog Bands, Artist, and Genre Appreciation.

I like to read biographies of composers and conductors, also photo books of early 19th Century photography, and German architecture.

Chris James is alright for literature, isn't he. Glenn Taylor. When it comes to magazines I quite fancy to reach for Aesthetica. Also don't mind flicking through the What Hi-Fi from time to time. Prog Magazine is another one worthy a minute

Frankly, I read alot about diverse subjects from history to theology, but I'm facinated with the Beatles break up and how they were able to pull off an album like Abbey Road when they could barely stand to be in the same room with each other. I'm currently reading You Never Give Me Your Money by Doggett. It's interresting to a point but does not bring up the recording studio tensions enough.

Edgar Allan Poe would be related to progressive bands indeed, but ... moved to General Discussion.

I read some magazines...Time, Mojo, Prog Rock Mag. Graphic novels from time to time.
All kinds of fiction novels and the odd non fiction book now and then. |

The one book of Peter Doggett I've read, There's a Riot Going On about the rise and fall of the hippie movement, was really frustrating: The amount of research he did was absolutely breathtaking as that must have taken an insane amount of planning and time, not to mention that he was willing to be critical of his interview subjects even regarding people he personally admired... but there were some extremely questionable omissions in the subject matter and the whole thing left me somewhat confused as to exactly what its central thesis was supposed to be. Then again, it's possible he's better as a music critic than as a sociologist. Heard that his recent biography of David Bowie is quite good too. |

Speaking of the 60's and rock, etc...I enjoyed Grace Slick's autobiography.
