Patti Smith Just Kids

I love to read. I use to spend my summers lazying around the swimming pool engrossed in a book. It seems now though, I'm always too busy to read and when I have time I'm so exhausted I read through two paragraphs before I start reading the same sentence over and over until I just fall asleep.

In June I went to Mexico for our wedding and honeymoon and so I had time to lay around, relaxing and yes, reading! After hearing several good reviews of Patti Smiths Just Kids book and after hearing her wonderful interview with Terry Gross on NPR I knew this was the book I wanted to read on my vacation! I read this book in just a little over a week and I just fell in love with it! If you're an artist and/or have any interest in the art/music scene of the 1960's and 70's you must read this book.  I am in no way a book reviewer, all I can say is if you're looking for a good inspirational book to read full of 1960's-70's New York art scene history you should read Just Kids.
