The Information
Martin Amis
I read four Martin Amis books: SUCCESS, THE INFORMATION, NIGHT TRAIN, and THE WAR AGAINST CLICHÉ. I can recall them all quite clearly, which is hardly the case of all the books I read in my twenties. Looking at the obits, I'm tempted to go back and refresh the set.

The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century
Alex Ross
If I modeled my book on anything it would be Ross's THE REST IS NOISE. Ross whittled the final down to half the size of the original draft, and it is still a big book. In casual conversation, I brought up Charles Griffes. Alex looked sad. "I had to cut Griffes," he said.

God: A Biography: Pulitzer Prize Winner
Jack Miles
Jack also embraced rock music, which is one reasons why he was perfect for Miles Davis. A famous place to hear to his driving but lazy big beat is "God Bless the Child" with Jarrett. Good video: https://t.co/rOYQa87ufx

Classical Style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven (Expanded)
Charles Rosen
In THE CLASSICAL STYLE, Charles Rosen looks at two idiosyncratic rondos of Beethoven and Schubert, and concludes that Schubert copied Beethoven in every detail -- except that no one notices or cares, and, indeed, that the Schubert is the greater work

Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Christmas Wooden Collectible Set
Charles M. Schulz
Charles M. Schulz, born on this day 100 years ago. PEANUTS meant a lot to me, partially because I could identify equally with the socially-awkward Charlie Brown and the piano-driven Schroder.
