I will add best book of 2011.....though technically released in 2010, it was included for best books of 2011 in Newsweek, as it was just released at year's end 2010.
LIFE Keith Richards
Reviewed by Simon Schama in Dec's recent Newsweek
I was once asked what I thought was the most revealing document of the 20th century? "Keith Richards' face," I said.
"LiFE" proves I was pretty much right, and that he can do the words as well as the music. There won't ever be a better book on how a rock-and-roll band gets made and very nearly unmade, but it's also a wild gallop through the times. You get the smell of vinegar on bad chips; the melee of the hotel room; you get human comedy; and you even get his recipe for shepherd's pie.
