1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - Robert Dimery (Ed.)

This is a book you’re not really supposed to read cover to cover, but it’s been on my bedside table for a few weeks now and I ended up doing so. It isn’t half as good as the film version, but I enjoyed reading about both old favourites of mine and a few intriguing entries that I may well end up tracking down.

There’s also one called 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die – anybody read it?
