    Congrats!
  4. I have read:
    "Bono On Bono" aka "Bono In Conversation With Michka Assayas"
    -I couldn't put this book down, and that's saying a lot since I fell out of love with reading years ago. The book made me want to be this guy. The chapters on Africa show how much of a genius this guy is (especially the part where Michka asks "Aren't you out of touch with reality?" and Bono replies, "But whose reality am I not in touch with? I may be out of touch with the first-world working class, but isn't it more important in my social position to represent the millions of third-world people who essentially have NO voice?") Hell, the chapter where Michka starts asking Bono about his beliefs singlehandedly restored my Christian faith.
    U2: The Early Days
    -Cool book, very rare find. Early photos, some early anecdotes about opening up for other bands at McGonagle's and nobody showing up, stuff about the Virgin Prunes, hilarious early promo photos that went very wrong.

    I want to read:
    1. U2 At The End Of The World - insane personal account of ZooTV. I read the first 5 pages on Amazon.com and then almost cried that I didn't have the rest of the book available. I would have read it in one sitting, I'm convinced.
    2. Killing Bono: I Was Bono's Doppelganger - the story of the guy (Neil McCormick?) who went to Bono's high school and wanted to do all the same things
    3. U2 by U2
    4. U2: Into The Heart: The Stories Behind Every Song
    5. U2 Live
    6. Walk On (the subtitle is something like The Spiritual Journey Of U2)

    ---

    Oh yeah, and about the 100 posts... "Nice singin', theedge123."
  5. Like u2met86, i also read Bono On Bono (well in Dutch its Bono Over Bono so i suggest that's the same one )
    And yeah i must say it was very interesting, specially because it was about BONO, not about U2, so you can see his life from another angle
    This was also the book were i read Bono's favorite song/text was Stay (still believe it was text, not song )

    And i got the book U2 By U2 a few months ago but i still haven't got time to read it, due the exams...
    But i'll be reading it in the holidays, that's for sure
  6. Originally posted by theedge123U2 by U2, very good and rare pictures, and It's interesting to know little stories behind the group and our favorite songs but Bono talks too much.. But there's some funny stories in this book. It's great!
