"Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk," by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain
I'd never declared a desert island read for myself until I finished this. The diversity of voices and catastrophes and hijinks stacks up to teetering heights. The dozens of punks, junkies and artists are glib narrators of New York in the late '60s, '70s and early '80s — one of the 20th century's wildest musical sea changes. – Kyle Ellingson, Common Good Books
