Nileism: the strange course of the blue nile by Allan Brown.
as he is a journalist, he is quite opinionated, and i nearly threw the book away after reading the first 3 chapters, but i persevered, and it is a good enough tome about this "enigmatic" band, even if only one member agreed to be interviewed for it! luckily i AM a BN fan, and so have my OWN opinion on the whole "take 20 years to make 4 records" schtick that seems to be the main thread behind any article on the Nile (as we DON'T call them haha). I know it seems like im not really "selling" this book, but something about brown just rubbed me the wrong way initially to the point where HIS personality gets in the way of the story, which is interesting enough hence my dig at the start. HARUMPH!
also reading the late JG Ballard's auto biog Miracles Of Life. clearly and precisely written, he can create vivid imagery using a few phrases. just like his fiction in fact. something Brown could learn from
