So I'm not all the way through it yet. But I've been plugging away at Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies and I really like it. My friend Alicia let me borrow it along with a bunch of other Pixies goodies. Alicia didn't really like this that much. Our friend Sarah Flynn said the writer is a douchebag. In anycase, he's not really the writer. He conducted interviews and looked at archived interviews and basically compiled and edited them toghether in a well organized chronological manner. This is of course for the super fans of the Pixies. I personally find them to be not only one of my favorite bands of all time musically, but incredibly interesting in there incredibly plain-jane undramatic personalities, inter-relations, and the phenomenon of their popularity. Sarah Flynn disagrees with me on this too. Although she likes their music, she doesn't find them to be very interesting per se. So how it works. This book goes from a summary of each band member's childhood through their career as the pixies. I'm not sure if the oral portion covers the recent reunion. It was written around this time and mentions their triumphant return in the foreward but i haven't made it that far. There's one thing that's a little monotonous about it. The "writer" compiles in such a way that Frank Black, Kim, David, Gary Smith, and Joe Blow from the Boston Scene will all say very similar things in a row. But there's times where it's very enjoyable and sheds a slighly new light on the actual details as all the band members have their charms and their very specific personalities: Charisma-Plus on Bass Meat and Potatoes Humorous on singing Quiet and Reclusive on Screeching Guitar Dork Supreme on Drums. Beyond that, this book is about the little nuggets of info. The behind the scenes tid-bits. The feel you get of the Boston scene at that time. The kind of magical nature of how much of a force the Pixies music was and still is despite how many people it simultaneously baffled. Having played in bands, there might be nerdy stuff in the studio or things i can relate to about a rock-club scene that i enjoy more than the average music fan. I don't know. I can't tell anymore. And growing up in RI, and visiting Boston a lot in the late 80's/early 90's might make me a little biased. This book recalls a time when Southern New England had a lot of relavant music coming out of it (Throwing Muses, Dino Jr., Lemonheads, Velvet Crush, Buffalo Tom, Sebadoh, Letters to Cleo, Combustible Edison, The Bosstones, Juliana Hatfield, Morphine, and so many more.) It was also a time where the areas those bands inhabited still looked like a place cool bands would probably be from. I was in my teens then when music became my main identity in many ways and I miss the way Providence and Boston looked back then. I could feel the "coolness" of those areas and was happy as a peach to be walking around those places while i looked for coffee and baked goods. It's kind of similar these days, just glossier. Less interesting looking. Less exciting. Maybe a little safer. Less annoying skate-boarders. I doubt anything worth a damn will have much of a fighting chance getting to a Pixies level in those areas these days even if they are just as good the Pixies (which they of course won't be). So yeah, I like it. It's not literature, or deep, or even that entertaining probably. But I'm still enjoying the read more than I have many things. I'm enjoying it better than Cash by Johnny Cash and more than anything Shakespeare's written. But I'm no scholar. I'm just a huge fan of the Pixies. And of a magical time in my home turf.

I have faithfully read all the books in the Creed, O'Ballivan, McKettrick series, and this turned out to be one of my favorites. Steven and Meg meet when he comes to build roots in Stone Creek for the "son" he has adopted after his best friend and his wife pass away. Steven knows that he likes Meg; he finds her attractive, intelligent, and she treats Matt with respect. I really liked Meg, who has created a life for herself but realizes that something is missing. She has a great job, amazing friends (I LOVED her scenes with Tom), a nice house, and a solid family - but she sees the glow that her family has that comes from being with that special someone, and wonders if she will get that too. Meg's confusion over a job that she worked hard for but no longer really fits her felt genuine. I loved that Byron really challenged her to look at herself, and question whether he could have changed, and whether he deserves a second chance to start anew. What I really liked: I loved that she had such a great friend in Tom, without feeling like they should have been more with each other. I loved that Matt was so cute I couldn't wait for scenes with him. Steven and Meg had great chemistry, sexually and on a more intellectual plane. They challenge each other. I also appreciated that Meg had a great sexual relationship with her previous boyfriend, Dan. Sometimes it feels as if the heroine hasn't discovered sex until she meets her hero, and it was great to see she was confident in her needs. What I didn't like: There are so, many, children. Each book in the series has pregnancy (at least), if not every hero or heroine already having children coming into the relationship. Even Meg's ex had children. I felt it is a bit unrealistic, and while Miller writes families and children so well, I would have liked to see the romance stand-alone. In some ways, the child (or children) become a prop to carry the story, and she writes so well that the characters don't necessarily need it. I think this book is definitely worth reading, and even if you haven't read the series you wouldn't feel confused.
