I quit that series after Angels & Demons. The book was fantastic and the ending was so stupid it ruined the entire book for me.

Agreed, it made my go on a colonial period reading craze. I was seriously considering buying a brown bess after that book.

The book also features a lengthy chapter on their infamous 1986 performance on SNL that got them banned from the show after Paul dropped an F-bomb on live TV. They sound awesome on this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXD9sxa1Edo

Must have read that 25 yrs ago. Agree it was good, but took me a month to get through it and I'm not a slow reader.

I'm just a couple days read into it, so can't recommend it yet - - but it is like no other book I've ever read and I'm compelled to mention it.
The book is "Discovery of Slowness", a novel, by Sten Nadolny.
The story is of a true character named Sir John Franklin, a famous and knighted British naval officer who eventually perished on an expedition to the Northwest Passage in mid 1800's.
But the book is not really about him - you get this great story as an extra bonus - the book is about slowness.
By 'slowness' the author means how Sir John Franklin perceived. How he saw in a minute what most folks see in an hour.
'Slowness' is a way of seeing.
The book not only describes slowness - but teaches you how to see - if you'll let it. It's kind of trippy.
How slow? Here is a passage:
"If he could just stay there and gaze upon the land like a stone, whole centuries long, while grassy plains became forests and swamps turned into villages or tilled land. Nobody would ask him a question. He'd be recognized as human only when he stirred."
Whatever you or I think slowness is, we are wrong, it's slower than that.

Sounds interesting. Listening to a book that is hard to categorize but very good. A Primate's Memoir by Robert Sapolsky. He's a neuro-endocrinologist and primatologist. The book is centered around his summer field studies of baboons in the Masai Mara of Kenya. Mostly describes his adventures in Africa in the 70's and 80's. About baboons, cultural anthropology, some science, but just good funny story telling.
