So I finished Literally, the book chronicling Pet Shop Boys first tour last night. I should have finished it a bit sooner if I'm honest, but a few days here and there of not reading slowed my progress down somewhat. What I won't be finishing anytime soon though is my new book: The authorized biography of The Beatles by Hunter Davies. I'm 50 pages in already, astonishingly enough that's still only the introduction, about another 30 pages to go until I come to the first chapter actually. Never the less though its become already clear that Hunter Davies clearly has a vast knowledge of The Beatles (this book was originally published in the late 60's and has been updated) and their career, and I'm finding it a very interesting read. It will no doubt be a lot to digest though as I'm still researching their music, and other than the very basics that they come from Liverpool, that George and John are dead and so forth, I know little else about them in terms of contextual information. Still, very much looking forward to reading on and discovering more!

Currently reading...
Currently reading this at the minute. Its an officially released and authorized book which essentially chronicles the Pet Shop Boys on their first tour, where they visited Japan then played some dates in the UK. I'm a good part of the way through it, around 210 pages or so which equates to about 12 or so chapters of the book. They've just left Japan and are getting ready to return to the UK. The book can be very funny in places and is also very interesting if you are a fan of Pet Shop Boys as you gain an invaluable insight into their personalities. I'll hopefully have it finished by the end of this coming week or the start of the next!
