That's Life

There are probably a lot of librarians out there who dream of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. But who would have thought Keith Richards dreamed of being a librarian?

Life ($33.99) is the just-released autobiography of Keith Richards (with contributor James Fox), ironically named for a man who spent a decade on the “Most Likely to Die” list. The hard-living hardcover promises to be a juicy read, getting into everything from Richards’ difficult relationship with the “unbearable” Mick Jagger, to his addictions to drugs, to his love of the Dewey Decimal System. Who knew?

It’s only rock ‘n roll. But we like it.

At bookstores including Chapters, Indigo, and online at amazon.ca
