I happen to be (distantly) related to Patricia Kenneally, and I talked to her about Jim a few times. I know he read Verlaine as well as Rimbaud and Baudelaire. He also read philosophy by almost anyone he could find. Manzarek was a lot of eastern philosophy, as well as reading the Egyptian Book of the Dead (check out his solo album The Golden Scarab). He apprently carried a copy around for years. Densmore apparently liked autobiographies and World War two memoirs. I couldn't tell you about Krieger.
