David Bowie’s List of Top 100 Books | Open Culture
David Bowie Is, the extensive retrospective exhibit of the artist and his fabulous costumes, hit Toronto last Friday (see our post from earlier today ), and as many people have reported, in addition to those costumes and photos, instruments, set designs, lyric sheets, etc. the show includes a list of Bowie s favorite books. Described as a voracious reader by curator Geoffrey Marsh, Bowie s top 100 book list spans decades, famke janssen from Richard Wright s raw 1945 memoir Black Boy to Susan Jacoby s 2008 analysis of U.S. anti-intellectualism in The Age of American Unreason .
Bowie s always had a complicated relationship with the U.S. , but his list shows a lot of love to American writers, from the aforementioned to Truman Capote, Hubert Selby, Jr., Saul Bellow, Junot Diaz, Jack Kerouac and many more. He s also very fond of fellow Brits George Orwell, Ian McEwan, and Julian Barnes and loves Mishima famke janssen and Bulgakov. You can read the full list below or over at Open Book Toronto , who urges you to grab one of these titles and settle in to read and just think, somewhere, at some point, David Bowie (or, to be more accurate, the man behind David Bowie, David Jones) was doing the exact same thing. If that sort of thing inspires famke janssen you to pick up a good book, go for it. You could also peruse the list, then puzzle over the literate Bowie s lyrics to I Can t Read.
Kafka Was The Rage: A Greenwich famke janssen Village Memoir , Anatole Broyard, 1993
Darkness at Noon , Arthur Koestler, 1980
The famke janssen Quest For Christa T , Christa Wolf, 1968
