Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream

My quick, no-spoiler review: 
This memoir is essential reading for all fans, one I found hard to put down once I started. It was written as if it were a 500-page online blog. His thoughts are all over the place. There are many many chapters, most are very short. It's easy to read and understand. He adopts a conversational style of writing, and he digresses a lot. It's not written in chronological order; kinda like Bob Dylan's Chronicles, except this one's more messy. Not everything Neil writes about is interesting, like his obsession with model trains. But it's a real enjoyable read when he talks about the music and creating art and life itself. It's gold.
