I've read a few books by authors who are supposed to represen a genre of music, like jazz, or rock and roll
And I wanted to find a good book inspired by punk.
seems like it would be a good mix

I have read alot.... ranging from excellent to bad.

Here are some of the best:

"Please Kill Me" by Legs McNeil & Gillian McCain
"Our Band Could Be Your Life" Michael Azerrad
"Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation's Capital" by Mark Andersen and Mark Jenkins.

Hope this helps. Amazon has all three of these books.

I'm pretty sure Jello Biafra wrote a book. Don't know what it is called. That would be worth a read.

"Get in the van" by Henry Rollins.
Quite funny. The guy doesn't exactly try to make himself look good, either.
