What books have your read?

21 November 2012 - 04:23 PM

I'm sure there was a thread in a similar vein, but I have searched twice and so will have to start another one.

Like many, I started with the Hopkins/Sugarman one but only read 4 books in my first decade as a fan.  Here's the list of what books I have read.  Feel free to list your own and any other comments you like.

NOHGOA
Illustrated History
The Lords & The New Creatures
Riders On The Storm

That was it for umpteen years until my ego was piqued by two things in an AOL quiz room about seven years ago.  The Doors quiz was mainly lyrics and someone had the temerity to score as many points as me!   After that, someone in the quiz room asked me ....... 'do you think Patricia Kenely should use his surname?'   I didn't have a clue but started to talk about the Doors, people latched on and the Christmas presents arrived..........

Strange Days
Life Death Legend
Wild Child
I could see this needed a little fine tuning.........

Wonderland Avenue
Rimbaud & Jim Morrison
The Lizard King Was Here
Light My Fire
A Guide - Doug Sundling

and three related this past year that I'd been meaning to read forever
Heart of Darkness
On the Road
Burn Down The Night
And devouring new-to-me Youtube and all things Doors on the net, such as Jack Holzman and Bob Seymore.

To do list (shortened) :-
Wilderness - American Night
John Tobler
Frank Lisciandro
Judy Huddleston
On The Road £££
Dennis Jakob
and ROBBIE KRIEGER!

And the old threads on here before they disappear.  Janet is right, there are some fantastic discussions but there were even more at one time.  Just click that >> icon to go to the back of these forums.  If anyone finds the original thread I can copy this there instead.
